I feel your pain but in a different area of my life most recently - I moved house and had to clear and pack a couple of rooms before a cleaner was scheduled to visit the next morning. Every time I looked at what was left I thought, an hour or two and this will be done, then after picking and processing a chunk, the remaining workload appeared to be unchanged. As the night wore on I started to feel like the house was cursed by some kind of vengeful clutter spirit, it just went on and on and on... Anyway the shred of motivation I wanted to offer you is that, despite the apparently ever-expanding workload, it did in fact finally finish, and the cleaner was presented with an empty house. I was able to accelerate the process slightly by 'cutting scope' (packing or throwing things I was going to sort) which in your case might be worth considering. Maybe some things can go into version 2?
You've evidently come so far and achieved so much, and you're so close now. Head down, one foot in front of the other, you'll be done before you know it. Good luck!
