4 Easy Weekend Organization Projects

Wednesday, March 27th, 2019

Now that 25% of the year about to be over, it’s time to revisit your resolutions. This weekend, make it a point to recommit to the goals that you’ve previously set. You probably said yes to decluttering, eating healthy, and even exercising, so it’s time to be true. Get up and out of that cozy blanket and let this weekend be the beginning.

 

Deal with Holiday Returns

 

Do you have opened yet unloved presents that remain in the basement? It’s time to gather them to donate, exchange or return. You may have kept the gift out of being a gracious recipient but if you really didn’t like it, then it’s no longer your duty to keep it for a long time.

 

If, however, you received a handmade gift such as a quilt or a knitted sweater, it’s best to show that you used it at least once or twice.

Set Up the Kitchen for Healthy Eating

 

Eating smarter is surely an awesome 2019 resolution but if you still haven’t started it now that April is about to begin, then this weekend is the right time to start.

 

Get rid of all the unhealthy snacks such as potato chips, those hardened pizza crusts, candies, and sweet goodies. It’s time to replace those with citrus fruits, berries, and vegetables.

 

It’s time to clean the kitchen counters so you could get started with your healthy cooking. Store all the appliances that you do not use daily and get rid of all the kitchen clutter.

 

Remember that good nutrition involves changing your diet for the better, making smart choices each time, and cleaning up the kitchen so that the meals you prepare are also clean each time.

 

Don’t cook and serve the same food over and over, you’d get a fatigue that way. Fill up your fridge with varieties of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, dairy, poultry, fish, nuts, and beans.

 

You can be adventurous with your food selections, too. Spend more time in the produce section of the supermarket and you’d soon realize how many options you actually have.

 

Declutter, But Of Course

 

A weekend project that’s common to a lot of families is decluttering. Join the fun. Getting organized needs a little motivation. Be excited to declutter the growing mountain of books by donating some of them.

 

If the inspiration still won’t come, you could read a few books about the subject such as Cary Telander Fortin’s New Minimalism.

 

Clear your desk this weekend. Put on some great music as you also set the timer so you remain focused on your desk-decluttering task. Shred the papers that are no longer needed and then put away the things that you no longer use on that desk or in any of its drawers.

 

Do Some Pipe Maintenance

 

You’ve just come out of winter so you know how much damage low temperatures can do to the pipes. Find the shut-off valve for your main water line and show this to the house sitter if you’re going away. If the area’s had a cold snap, then have the thermostat set to 55 degrees and keep it going, round the clock.

 

Never put antifreeze in the water sprinkler and swimming pool drainage unless explicitly directed. Antifreeze is dangerous to any form of life so be very careful.

 

Install insulation to the basement, attic and the crawl spaces in your home. Check your home for areas that are unheated. Search in the garage, in the bathroom cabinets, and under the kitchen sink. See if the hot and cold water pipes are insulated and if they’re not, you know what to do.
