Assign each room a color. Buy a bunch of color duct tape and put the assigned room color on the outside of each box. Before the movers get to the new house put a sign on each door which color boxes should go where. That way when you unpack all the boxes are in the right rooms.
Use your towels pillows and blankets to wrap up your glassware or fragile items. Mark those boxes with fragile stickers so the movers know to be careful with them.
Hatzlachah!!

Are you me? This is literally the advice I give everyone. The color duct tape is life saver! We did as we packed each box.

Throw things out.
Purge as much as you can.

Also leave out a bag with necessities for your first night there—sheets, toothbrush etc. also now they sell these huge moving bags that seem better than boxes for many things- https://a.co/d/2UkVK0D

Moving is so stressful!
For dishes put paper towels between them and then wrap well with shrink wrap. Much more protected and stable than using just paper towels or regular towels.
Seforim also wrap with shrink wrap, it's too heavy for boxes.
Do as much as you can in advance.
It's great to clean out of the things you no longer need, but you might find yourself making too many decisions. If it's too overwhelming just pack it up and take it along.

Pack whatever you can in advance. And then pack some more.
There is A LOT of stuff (and I throw out stuff all the time). The packing will feel endless, but you’ll get there !

number each box and keep a list of the box numbers with a short description of the contents. when you are looking for something after the move you can just refer to the list to know which box you need to open.

Now is the time to not pack stuff things you never used. Throw them out!!!
I moved last when I was pregnant in my 9th month (with twins) didn't do a thing though...
