I see that in spite of the whole cleanliness jag thingie you retained some 'piles'. Piles are my primary organizational structure. Gather up some stuff. Some you know you can throw away. Some you know you have to act on. That leaves that other stuff - you're not sure if you need to act, but you're not sure you don't, so you don't want to just throw it away.
The solution? Make a pile. Later other similar stuff will go on top of that pile and at some point in the future the whole bottom half of the pile can be thrown away. If you don't have some piles you're doon it worng...

The law of superpositioning.
Not much sorting though, just following Napoleon's "most problems resolve themselves in three wks." rule. Dump it & ignore it.
(What you don't see are the piles as high as a man behind the camera.)
