I haven’t unpacked boxes in a long time, but the general rules for unpacking seem to be

* Keep everything in the boxes it was in and put only as much as you can fit into the available space

* Keep everything neat in whatever room you’re unpacking it to

* Take things out as you need them and put the boxes back as they go

* Take them out as you need them, and make a pile if you need to, but only as much as you can fit in the available space

* Keep an eye on all the open boxes. This means “keep checking boxes to make sure they’re still there” and it also means “make sure there isn’t something dangerous (like a fire, or a loose pipe) in the room where they are”
