To save time on moving day,

Move your boxes from the basement, upstairs or attic to the main floor prior to the moving date. Consider carrying items from the back garden or garage ahead of time.
Before you start packing,

Throw out or sell all the accumulated junk that you know you should've got rid of in the past.
