Phillipa Martyr's article in The Catholic Weekly gives eight reasons why you should go to Confession, often. I like number 7. If you go to the same Confessor, at about the same time, i.e., end of the month, in the morning, etc.. He will get to know you, which is like having a Spiritual Director. Yes, your time together is short, but it's free. You will get direction in the advice and penance he gives you. Gradually, you will see that you are being led to be a better person.
The other reasons are good, too.
