Clutter control

I'm regretting the decision to clean my office. Too much needs to be done.

It'll take weeks to complete the entire task properly. Heck, it'll take days just to complete the first tedious task: culling magazines. My goal is to keep a sample of each target publication--more copies if it's a relatively obscure pub that the local library doesn't carry. I'm clipping potential research material and sample columns/departments; ideally, the clipped material will be neatly filed, but first I must purge my files to make room for new material...realistically, the material will become clutter itself. Clipping is time consuming and boring. But it's the lesser of evils. The worst tasks are yet to come....
