For what it is worth, I have successfully decluttered the dining nook, the living room and the bedroom. The relatively few piles of papers are moved when company is here. This is apparently a slow process, best indulged in when life is less bumpy.

One of the steps on the way to decluttering was to rearrange the furniture in the second bedroom, which is being used as a study. Much of yesterday was spent in the rearranging, and one table and one small bookshelf came out. On the other hand, two small bookshelves went back in. At least there is less horizontal space to attract clutter. But now there is more air and light in the room, so the existing clutter is more visible!
