Do you ever wish the piles would just go away and you wouldn't have to make a decision on where to put it or even if you should keep it? I've daydreamed about a thief stealing the entire room of stuff. Would I be sad and shocked or secretly relieved? If a fire, tornado, or flood destroyed everything in the basement, again...would I think, "Well good. Now I don't have to sort through it all."
I realize all these scenarios are terrible usually, yet getting rid of a lot of clutter in one swoop has its merits. Can you be a tornado? Can you be a thief in your own home? What is to stop you from getting boxes and just packing up everything sitting on the floor?
Consider taking a strong approach to cleaning up. Just box up everything in the way and put it out of sight for 6 months. If you still want to look through it after that, go ahead, but I think you will decide to let your excess go.
