Looking for organizing projects to do in your spare time? Here are some to help get you started.

Start in the kitchen: From organizing cupboards and shelves to pantries, refrigerators and drawers, organizing these areas can lead to a greater sense of calm.

Create an inviting home office: If possible, place your workspace or desk next to a window. Natural light goes a long way in fostering creativity and enhancing your work mood.

Head into the bedrooms: Main bedrooms should be calm and soothing, while children’s bedrooms should feel fun, festive and inviting. Regardless of your desire, some of the best ways to achieve this are through the use of color, art and texture.

Implement systems and a schedule: Tired of items or tasks always being on the back burner? Create a weekly schedule in which certain tasks are performed. For example, performing laundry duties on Monday, cleaning your home on Wednesday and planning and executing meal prep on Sunday.

Finish small repairs: Whether it is that bathroom that needs to be recaulked or that small area that needs a bit of touch-up paint, taking on small repairs will lead to a more finished home.

Change light bulbs: Switching from lower wattage bulbs to those with higher wattage is an easy, quick and affordable fix.

Perform routine maintenance tasks: Check for leaks or minor damage around your home. Additionally, check major appliances and systems that power your home.

Evaluate and create a game plan: Sometimes the best road to complete all of the items on your home “to-do list” is to create a plan and execute it in segments.
