-I hate file cabinets and filing by alphabet or subject. A date/time filing system works for me. -My projects "plate" is a radar screen: I sweep through interests periodically. Sometimes the next "sweep" may be months or even years away but I DO "finish things" - and on MY time line! - When de-cluttering I ask myself "Is this item worth (the current price per sq. ft. for ofc space in our area)? If not, i replace it with one of those "someday I'll display it" treasures that IS worth the space!
