1. You first go through all your stuff and throw out the stuff you can't get into a third of a moving truck.

What's important to you? Do you really need a library when more and more can be had digitally online or in your hard drive? Of course, there's the books I want to keep handy, some you want to read on the beach or on a rainy night.
