Eating An Elephant

Packing up your house to move is like eating an elephant. It's just so huge that you gotta tackle it, but where do you start? Do you start with the big meaty parts to get them out of the way, or is it a better strategy to start with the trunk and work your way back so you can really see your progress? Do you start packing up the rooms where you don't really spend that much time, or do you get rid of the stuff that you never use in the rooms that you spend the most time in? Do you start boxing things you might need, or keep them in tidy piles around the house so you can access them if necessary? I think I'd rather just be eating twinkies than an elephant anyway.
