Get help. Big cleanups can be miserable, depressing jobs, as well as very physically demanding. Friends can offer moral support. Additionally, people to help you move things can make a big difference. In addition to saving you the physical effort of hauling a lot of stuff, managing people can help you to focus and persist in making progress on the work. Hire a couple high school kids for ten bucks an hour, and make them do the heavy lifting. Or, if you can af- ford it, hire a professional cleaning service. Much of the work in a major cleaning/reorganizing endeavor is psychological, and just that is exhausting. Delegating some of the physical work can help you get through it.
