I think I will get rid of some stuff. That was actually one of my goals for the year, but there's so little time to sort through things and discard or "rehome" them.

Just a thought - could your son do it? He must have a bit of free time now, and it's a fairly low-risk activity that could give him some structure. Plus, it's oddly cathartic to pitch things out!! You could perhaps make a deal with him that if he sells stuff on Ebay, he can use the money as part of his 'apartment fund' or whatever.
