My moving tips:

1. Wrap all the clean dishes with paper towels, not newspapers. That way they don't need to be washed again before you use them, and you can never have too much extra paper towel when unpacking at the new place. Neither of which is true of crumpled newspaper.

2. Buy a box of clear "trash" bags. When packing clothes, clean ones go in the clear bag, and any dirty clothes can go in a normal black or brown one. Makes it easy to know what still needs laundering, and to see what's in the bag. That also gives you a nice soft "cushion" to place between large items in the truck, if you are renting a truck.

3. If you have a lot of books to move, ask a local bookstore if they have boxes. Book boxes are smaller and sturdier - if you fill a normal "moving box" with books, it is too heavy to lift!
