1. Update dog's microchip when you move or else when she runs away and gets picked up by a policeman and taken to the Humane Society they will have no idea how she got from Chicago to Madison. Or how in the world to get ahold of you, her stupid owner who didn't update her microchip info.

2. Clean out email contact list so that when your account gets hacked you don't send emails selling *cheapest* electronics to your previous employer and your stylist who moved to Atlanta years ago and that guy you met on a cross country flight before you ever laid eyes on your husband.
On a practical note, how about checking when your passport expires? Wouldn't it be a shame to plan a big beer drinking trip to Belgium and discover that your passport expired the month before? And how about your Facebook privacy settings? Better check on that before you post those NYE pics, huh? Do you have any old email accounts that you don't use anymore? What if a long lost acquaintance sent you a holiday message? You might want to peruse your inbox. If only to remind yourself of who you used to be. My old email address is girlyhood@.... Why? I don't remember, but I like it. Oh and while you're checking old email addresses, google yourself in the advanced search option. It's important to see how you are being portrayed to the world, intentionally or not. Any random credit cards you don't use anymore? How do you know someone else isn't using them? Check your credit report. Like Wilford Brimley says about your blood sugar, "check it often".
Whew, don't you feel productive and organized? Just in time for the new year. You're welcome.
