I just moved so here's some advice:
1) Box up everything. Even things you think you can easily carry over...box them up. It's so much easier to have everything thrown into a moving box than trying to carry each item by itself.
2) Give about a one month notice to your creditors and magazines about your address change.
3) Make a list of everything you'll need for your new place.
4) Anything that you will not need for the next two weeks, box it up now to get it out of the way.
5) Mark all the boxes with labels such as "kitchen- dishes", "bathroom- linens", or "office- computer software". This way, if you need something that is already in boxes sometime during the next two weeks, you can easily find it.
6) Collect newspaper and wrap your breakables in that. It works well and it's a lot cheaper than buying bubble wrap.
7) Clean out your old place so that you get your deposit back.
8) Before moving anything into your new place, CLEAN IT! Most apartment complexes do not do a thorough cleaning of apartments before moving their tenants in. If the tenant before you was a McNasty, you'll end up showering in their filth.
