One of the best things I've done regarding side-projects is to adopt Emacs as my editor.
Why? Because Org Mode, an Emacs package, provides super useful TODO management. And Emacs itself is super extensible. And when I invest in "doing things to my Emacs" I invariably improve my entire toolchain for doing work.
So my "side-projects" have become introspective in regards to the work I do. One example is that each week, I write a report for each project that I'm "leading". That report has a template. I wrote a function to more easily use that template.
I did something similar when I develop pywin-contextmenu python package out of boredom. Now I use it to simplify many common operations i do at my workplace by adding them to contextmenu, so everything is just a right click away.
