Win- it-with-Wiggi and Cupboard Love
Does the thought of structure make you shudder? Do thoughts of planning give you sweaty palms? Do you see yourself as a free-spirit who loves to let life organically?
Do you much prefer to wing-it than plan? And on the other side to that, would you like to free up some time by being a bit more efficient?
Then check out this picture of my food cupboard. It’s kinda higgeldy piggeldy and yet it also has an organised beautiful symmetry. Yes I have limited space and I’ve had to cram loads of things in. But there is a loose weave Wiggi logic and sense of order whereby I (mostly) know where everything is. True there is another cupboard with a few more bits above it and yets, I do have to take things out to get at items at the back, but it all runs fairly smoothly bar the odd dropped item and a swear word or two.
Another win-win with Wiggi where I can wing it and zing it is what I do with my laundry when it’s been washed and ready to hang up to dry.
I don’t just pull it out of the basket at random like I used to. No, I lay it all out in piles – underwear, t-shirts, nightwear, and whatever else. That little bit of extra work at the outset saves me loads of time lost in messiness later on.
These are two of my ways of leaning into the win-win of being a free spirit who rebels against tight structures and allowing just enough structure to help things run smoothly.
So these are examples that have worked for me …. now over to you … I’d love to hear what you struggle with around structured efficiency vs winging it – and how you resolve it.
