I have moved a LOT, so I can give some
good advice
Start packing now. If there is clothing
you're not using right now pack it away in
boxes and start stacking them. Are you
using professional movers, or are you
taking a u-haul?
As far as clothing: Do you need that
argyle sweater? Do a closet-clean. If you
have clothes that you haven't worn in a
while, place them in a bag and donate them
to a local Salvation Army.
Get things organized. Anything you can
start packing right now, do it. Make sure
to label your boxes with contents and room
names!
Do you really need that? If you've got
items you've simply collected away since
last time you moved, determine whether or
not you really need them. Have you read
that book already? What about that stack
of magazines? Cleaning up the house and
throwing away extraneous belongings
lightens your load and makes it easier to
pack Again, you can
donate these items, have a garage sale, or
simply throw them away.
Pack up your unused linens. Bedsheets that
aren't being used, pillow cases, etc. Make
sure you NEED it first, if not chuck it.
Basically, condense and organize your
belongings.

We are using U-haul.. There aren't many
things that we have acquired since last
year.. though there are some clothes and
stuff that could go.. You know the "I will
fit in this again" type stuff .
Other than that we are not taking
furniture.. the majority of the boxes are
books.. figures.. and games >.<. I
never thought about boxing now.. I could
organize the boxes we have and start a
storage room for unused things..
