One of the things that I am doing for Lent this year is a practice of every day giving something away and/or throwing something away. We've been off to a great start!
The sad thing is that this is the third year in a row that I have been doing this particular penitential act and I cannot fathom why there is STILL SO MUCH STUFF THAT I CAN GIVE AWAY.

Keeping too much and then finding a use for just one thing reinforces the urge to save everything.
I think the psychologists would call this phenomenon "intermittent reinforcement," which is very effective.
The power of this type of reinforcement is why giving things away can be difficult.
