Top 5 Moving Tips

Clean out desks and Nightstands: if you have a lot of small items in drawers you may want to store them in a separate ziplock bag as drawers can be turned sideways at times
Remove shelves from bookcase: put them next to the piece and put the shelf pins in an envelope or ziplock bag.
If possible personally carry pictures and plants: Plants are living and can go into shock and avoid any possible accidents to personal pictures by carrying them personally.
Remove Mirrors and glass surfaces from furniture: Sometimes dressers and tables have a detachable glass or mirrors. Take the time to remove these so they can be packed separately
Label Boxes: Label boxes correctly according to what's in them, if its fragile, and what room it belongs in
