U Haul

Does anybody have any tips or tricks to offer up? I am moving at the end of this month, and I HATE MOVING. I have hired movers, but I still have to pack and unpack and clean. There's got to be a system, a method, something that makes this easier. I am not a organizational freak, I tend to throw everything in boxes, even if it ends up in the trash later. I don't want to move trash. I don't want to throw anything away, however, that I may want later. How do I know what to keep and what to throw away? How do I know where to start? I've moved too many times to count and this move is going to be a permanent one, for a long while. I aint gonna move until I can buy a house. I WILL buy a house someday. Although anything within an hour drive of Seattle in any direction costs more than ever before. You can't get a 1960's rambler for less than 300k these days. It's insane. Maybe I will forever be stuck in an apartment. I guess it's not so bad. All the amenities. What is UP with that? Wall to Wall carpet is not an amenity, nor is an old broken down stair master and a tanning bed that hasn't had new bulbs since 1984 when it was still cool to have a fake tan so brown you looked like George Hamilton or even George Forman.... Nor is the 'media room' which contains a fax machine and a copy machine. I think an amenity should be weekly maid service. Free car washes. Monthly movie passes. Individual hot tubs (I don't wanna get in a hot tub after the drunk neighbors). You get the idea. Anyway, suggestions for my move? They can be tongue in cheek, they can be for realz...
