File and rename photos by date taken: YYYYMMDD_filename inside a folder called YYYYMMDD.
If you haven’t already, make sure you have your subjects cross-referenced with the date shot. Google calendar or a Word document are both great for this.
As you choose and edit photos, copy the edited versions into a folder inside your YYYYMMDD folder, called “edit”. This leaves your original files untouched, in case you have to go back and start over on a photo.
If you resize photos for a certain application, like 800 pixels wide for online, rename those files “800_YYYYMMDD”. Then, they will all be together and you know know the size instantly when you are looking for files later.
