90% of what we had was moved by me and my work's box truck with about 10 other guys in one day. Last time we moved, my super-wife had been packing for the previous 8 months(while we were renting & looking for a house to buy) as she had time with 3 little kids.

If you have enough people, have some bringing the boxes in and others unpacking as you go. If you're having friends help you-be organized timewise the day of your move.

As you pack a box, number it and make a list in a notebook what is in that numbered box. You don't have to do it all in a week, just as you have time. Start packing out of season items & things you can just do without as soon you know you're moving. It's worth $30 in protection to not be yelling at the movers about their wet shoes when it's raining. Cover all main traffic areas and central areas of all rooms. Get the 2' rolls of self-adhesive plastic like a contractor uses to not trek dirt on your floor. I haven't read all of the other comments, so forgive me if these suggestions have already been made.
