Try the command
find . -mtime +14 -exec mv {} target \;
which will mv all the files older than 14 days to the directory target.
Make sure that the directory target is not in this directory tree.
Alternatively, you can use cpio which is more flexible than tar.

It's not enough to know the world is absurd and restrict yourself merely to
pointing out that fact.... It is wrong to expect a reward for your struggles.
The reward is the act of struggle itself, not what you win. Even though you
can't expect to defeat the absurdity of the world, you must make the attempt.
That's morality, that's religion, that's art, that's life.
