Are you procrastinating about doing something with your photos? Have you EVER procrastinated about doing something with your photos? Join Fiona Staff and Chantal Imbach as they help guide you through the steps to stop procrastinating about your photos.

In this episode we talk about the results from the recent survey we conducted revealing what people procrastinate about regarding their photos, and why.

We found that people procrastinate mostly because they are:

•Overwhelmed and don't know where to start

•Overwhelmed with the enormous task ahead

•Overwhelmed because they don't have enough knowledge to make confident decisions

Some of the other reasons include:

•Abstract goals

•Rewards that are far in the future

•A disconnect from our future self

•Feeling overwhelmed

•Anxiety

•Task aversion

•Perfectionism

•Fear of failure

•Indecisiveness

We want to see you succeed in your projects and we believe understanding why you are procrastinating, and following clear steps to move through it, are key for your success.

We have produced the free eGuide to teach you How to Stop Procrastinating about your Photos. You can download your free copy here:

Do you have an Action Plan in place to protect your precious photos in the event of a natural disaster? Have you, or a loved one, ever experienced a natural disaster first hand? Join Fiona Staff and Chantal Imbach as they chat with author, speaker and media communicator Karen Ostenried about her experiences and reflections through a natural disaster.

In this Episode we are grateful to chat with Karen Ostenried, a survivor of the 2009 Australian Black Saturday bushfires. The Black Saturday bushfires were a series of bushfires that burned across the Australian state of Victoria on and around Saturday 7 February 2009. They were among Australia's all-time worst bushfire disasters with 173 people losing their life and 2,029 houses destroyed.

Karen talks openly about the devastation of losing her home, her beloved horses and all of her precious photos. Karen recently appeared on The Project (an Australian news-current affairs television program) and shared her advice and lessons learned on her journey to recovery.

In this episode Karen readily shares what she does differently today, when it comes to backing up and managing her photos, since the bushfires. Listen in as Karen gives us some extremely practical advice relating to capturing photos of your treasured hobbies and passions in life.
