Tomorrow is going to officially be 2016. It’s a New Year. It’s January 1 – the first day of the calendar year onto which we love to throw out resolutions for self-betterment and bucket-list activities. I’ll lose weight this year. I’ll also be a better friend. I’ll run a marathon and go to church every Sunday. I’ll visit Argentina and call my mom once a week. The list usually goes on and on, and if you’re as busy as the typical American, it’s lost by mid-February. There’s just too much to do.

National Make-up Your Mind Day

That’s probably why National Make Up Your Mind Day is observed annually on December 31. If you’ve been hesitating about one thing or another, or your to-do list for the New Year trends far longer than a single page, this is the day to join with others and finally make up your mind—about anything, really!

Last year, social media had some fun with the holiday as users posted about the need to finalize dinner plans for New Year’s Eve. Alternatively, Twitter user @dailyRx committed to: “Better #Sleep for a Stronger Mind: #MakeUpYourMindDay.” Whether it was for the night ahead, or the whole year isn’t clear. Either way, a decision was made.

While there’s not much available history about the formulation of National Make Up Your Mind Day, we’re on trend with it here. Why not gather all of those thoughts, perceptions, memories, emotions and imaginings that make up your brain’s consciousness and take the last day of 2015 and actually do something actionable—like, say, update your insurance policies or check to see that they’re all current as you head into next year. The process will be quick and painless once you get an agent on the phone, and imagine how great it’ll feel to do something productive a day before your other resolutions kick in—all before you go out tonight and say your goodbyes to 2015.
