3. Update your legal documents
A lot can change in a year, so if 2018 was personally eventful or you haven’t reviewed your will and estate plans recently, consider updating your legal documents.

4. Clean out/purge your storage and closet areas
Why wait until spring to start cleaning? While the weather is less tolerable outside, take time to get rid of the belongings you don’t really use. And if you donate what you purge, you can keep the spirit of holiday giving going into the new year! Organizing and purging can make you feel refreshed and ready to start the new year!
5. Visit your Doctor for a physical
A yearly physical is an important part of keeping an eye on your health, so why not start the year off right? This can keep you and your doctor on the same page and scheduling this appointment around the first of the year makes it easy to remember each year going forward.
