2020 is just around the corner and if you’ve spent the last year or decade putting things off, then now is the time to change. Here’s a list of 20 things you should stop putting off and start doing in 2020.

It could be spiders, snakes or heights, whatever it is that you have been putting off treating, this year is the year you treat your fear. It might not even be an obvious fear you have, but if you’ve been putting off going to the Doctors or Dentist, it’s time to face it and get there. If you’ve had a bad experience and you’re frightened of not only what you will find out but that you might end up needing a malpractice attorney as well, then you need to face this head-on.
