Getting rid of stuff can be challenging because certain items hold sentimental value even if it has no real use. There is a trick that can help you let go though: snap a photo. People who were encouraged to do that were between 15 and 35 percent more likely to donate sentimental items to charity than those who weren’t told to take pictures first. Most people want to hold onto MEMORIES as oppose to the actual item, so taking a picture can keep those memories around. (Photo: Ugly House Photos)
