I am finding the timer method works wonders for me. I can tell my brain, "Okay, you only have to pack/unclutter for 20 minutes, until the buzzer goes off (or the playlist ends. Then you can play for 10 minutes on the internet." Lather, rinse, repeat. If it's really a lot to do you can do 45/15 minute sets, but the 20/10s are like magic. It keeps me from getting too tired, and I can stick things in boxes for just 20 minutes. And then maybe another 20. It keeps it manageable. (Note: breaks are key. Do not work through the breaks and do marathons or you will be sad face.)
