Well, I decided I couldn't deal with the app flaking on me again, so I put on a 30-minute BBC Sounds (Sara Cox's half-wower) alternating feeding the shredder, and pulling things out of the mystery boxes. I had a good nap after the first half hour, and then I did a second half hour, at the end of which I had finished the shredding, been through three mystery boxes and the shelf behind, and requested the vacuum cleaner from my spouse by text message.
So I've now vacuumed up all the dust lurking on the shelf and around the boxes on the floor, and put everything back on the shelf that is a harder decision than rubbish / lives elsewhere / give away. Two of the boxes are empty and the third now contains only toys & lego. Plus I have a giant pile of paper recycling, a bag full of shredded paper, a bag of rubbish, and a pile of things to give away. My mug for holding pens is overflowing, but at this point I feel like the solution is commandeering another mug from the kitchen (yes, I know Dana K. White would say decide which pens to get rid of, but for now I have space for another mug and that's easier than making more decisions).

That is a satisfying point to get to today.
