I’d also set a clear escalation path during those blocks: set status to Do Not Disturb with “call if urgent,” so people know you’re focused not unavailable. To make the trial concrete and track a simple before/after (time to complete a typical analysis and error rate) and share the deltas in a quick note. If rooms are tight, offer a rotating schedule or a secondary low-traffic spot so it feels fair and easy to accommodate.

Future You will not thank Past You for keeping IMG_003. Batch-rename to YYYY-MM-Event-### and put the real stuff in metadata, not file names. Write DateOriginal, people as Keywords, and a short Caption. for unknowns use mid-year or mid-month and add circa in the caption. Pick one spelling per person and a simple Person|Family style so searches never miss. Follow 3-2-1 backups: main library, a local clone on an external and and your cloud, with the second external kept offsite and swapped every quarter. Use tools that write to files or XMP so your tags survive app hopping, and only share albums after captions are embedded.
