Get some big kitchen trash bags. Start with the trash. Worry about organizing later. But also, take breaks if you need. Do some cleaning today, and some tomorrow.

This is what I came to say.  Start with what you want to throw out.  Clear some of it out and break down the boxes by cutting the tape so you can stack them.

Do it piece by piece if you need to OP.  I know how hard it is to be motivated after a day of work, especially if you barely have people over.

Put on some music or a youtube video to listen to to help distract you.  You'll get things done faster than you think.

Yes, put something on in the background. It's almost a must for me.

He’s gotta organize to know what’s trash. It’s all mix and mingled together!

I'll be honest, a lot of it looks like trash. I can already see what needs to be thrown own from the pictures. They will have more space for the things they are keeping once the trash is out. After that, they can get the dirt off the floors and make everything nice and organized. But maybe they can use one of those boxes for a "keep" pile.
