organize and pack everything by what room they go in even if similar things are separated (ex: living room books don’t go with bedroom books, bathroom jewelry doesn’t go with bedroom jewelry) so that you can just unpack one room at a time instead of having things from multiple rooms in one box and then having to bounce around to unpack it. much less chaotic this way and easier to see progress/feel productive.

Put everything in one big pile in the middle of the room. If you have a lot of stuff it’s going to look and feel insane—this is good because it’ll make you aware of how much you have.
Sort everything into three piles: a pile for yes, a pile for maybe, a pile for no. After you’ve finished go through the maybe pile and be critical, discerning, decisive, erring towards no as much as possible. Once you’ve gone through the maybe pile and have your two yes and no piles, put everything from the no pile in bags or boxes to give away.
Find a place or devise a solution to store everything in the yes pile in an organized and clutter-free manner where it’s tucked neatly away. If you can’t find a place for everything you either have to get more creative or get rid of more stuff!
Then make a habit of putting everything away when you're finished using it and cleaning a little bit every day as maintenance.

if u find yourself always having a messy room, it helps to identify *what* the mess is comprised of and *why* those things don’t end up in their place. then experiment with rearranging and choosing new spots for organizing things into, specifically in a manner that you think will lower the threshold of effort that it takes to put the thing away in its spot the first time you put it down. continue to assess and repeat

And the day before the move pack a move day duffel bag or suitcase with outfits, your toiletries, medications, phone chargers, and anything else you need to have immediately and easily accessible for the first few days. I usually do kitchen stuff before almost anything else. I would also say for heavy things smaller boxes are better and make sure to sort and label every box by room. OH and I like to use pairs of socks (one sock on the bottom end and one on the top) to pad small fragile things like perfume bottles
