I felt that way when I first retired. I couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that it wasn't just a vacation, and I felt that pressure to get things done. I slept for the first week or two and then got rid of tons of stuff, bought plastic bins of all sizes to organize things n, and shredded almost every paper I had saved all these years.
(If I need anything I shredded, I'll just have to get a new one, or I just won't have it).
At some point, I just stopped. I guess I'm organized enough - a lot of the rest could probably be given away or just thrown out. I have a huge apartment, with tons of closets, so don't need the space. I'm a thrower-outer anyway, and super organized. I also think that when I move, if I never throw out all of the junk in all of these closets, I can just pay the super $100 to throw everything out. But ehat if I leave something valuable? Oh well...if I already forgot about ir, I probably won't ever remember that I lost it anyway!
Anyway, you need to rest first! Then you slowly build up the energy to do what you have to do and leave the rest for some other time. You already know that though. You've been working for the schools for a while now haven't you?
