Tidying up. There's a productive and an unproductive way to do this.

This unproductive way consists in making piles and putting stuff out of sight, but not actually dealing with it.

The productive way is like a triage and results in throwing away and getting rid up a lot of unproductive stuff.

The difference is the second way unburdens your mind whereas the first just pushes the burden under the proverbial rug, but doesn't actually rid you of it.
