If you're finally going to clean out the basement or garage once and for all, then use your camera to run defense for you against sentimentality. I had boxes and boxes of stuff I hadn't even seen in a decade, but as soon as I saw things I suddenly couldn't bear to discard them. lol So instead, I photographed each item that was emotionally significant, from enough angles and distances that it was "real" in the pics. Then I got rid of the stuff. I burned all the images onto a CD...which I'll probably not look at for a decade, either. But having those images means, in an emotional sense, I have not thrown out the past. Very liberating way to deal with an unpleasant task.
