So. Many. Boxes.

I have realized that I need to get rid of some of my school supplies. I have 60+ boxes to go through and would love to get down to 20 boxes + 10 boxes of books. I have about 700 books plus about 30 boxes of various "stuff" - paper, craft supplies, crayons, office supplies, etc...Each box is a paper ream box. For anyone who has done this, what do you suggest? I need some kind of organizational system and a cheap one! I don't want to have to buy too many new boxes or other stuff. Also, I probably have about 2 weeks to do this...any ideas?
