Do it slowly, but efficiently. Give yourself a goal, maybe 5 papers a day, and take care of it slowly: eventually the pile will begin to grow smaller and smaller and if you’re efficient enough you should be done when u need to be

Set a time on when you can work on the papers, and try to finish them and watch videos to help keep you motivated to finish them

Organize the papers first into a pile that’s important, not so important, & don’t need. Then throw away the papers you don’t need a put the important papers in a place you can find and put the non so important papers separate but where you can find it .

Set small goals, and have a reward at the end. For example, say, "Today I will clean 15 papers off of my desk, and I will spoil myself with some coffee when I’m done." This will keep you not stressed out and motivated.

Bit by bit. Either by designating an amout of time/documents you have to go through. As the year progresses it will seem more manageable, until you decide to finish all of it.

Sort them into piles: throw away, keep, do/fill out later. Deal with them accordingly and try to find buckets or spare space in your desk to store them in when you’re not using them. Hope this helps!

I would start by taking 5 minutes a day and file/shred a few at a time. Over the coarse of the week try to add a few minutes each day/week. Stay committed everyday to doing that task. If you miss a day don’t stress just start over!

You gotta write something on the papers till the end of the year until someone tries to take it from you to write about for them.

Check, read, give it a place or throw it away. Do it with 3-5 papers a day, I promise that by the time you find out, the stack will only have a couple of sheets.

If you could complete one paper at a time, or maybe two whenever you feel like it. I think you can make it, make a program and most importantly dont stress about it. Go slow, look at it like its no biggie bc people tend to procastinate when they have to do smt big or important for them.
