Heh. I'm saving the top of the rolltop desk in the office for one of the later subprojects of The Decluttering Project. I think I have most of those pile types.
On records vs. resources, the latter are what I really eliminated in an earlier stage - cleaning the map file cabinets and condensing them down to one cabinet plus one banker's box. I collect maps, geography geek that I am, and I'd also amassed a huge collection of less valuable travel brochures and literature over the years, thinking I might go (back) here someday. Feh. Pitched all but a tiny bit, for places like National Parks and such that I have actual plans to visit. Three dead bodies worth of weight in black garbage bags. :-)
I think maintenance is still going to be more difficult. I seem to have a habit of getting lax and then having these cleaning sprees where I pitch tons of schtuff.
