Family.

There are times that are difficult for families, (social units). Love. As a rule, the past, sometimes outdated, sometimes new, but only for one of the spouses. Money. They are few. Dot. He (she) is a burden or spends too much. Perhaps someone is eating too much. Perhaps someone was born who became the most voracious of all. Social status…. how long have you been to the resort? What kind of rest is there? The main thing is to boast on the Internet. The will of one spouse is broken by the will of the other, hence the depression and does not want anything.

Country.

There are difficult times for the city, country and … the Universe. As scientists say, entropy increases. This means that all people on the planet are plunging into chaos. Love becomes selfish, money is always in short supply, and further down the list. This crisis … comes on a strict regular basis … Confuses all plans, doesn't it?

The crisis.

But what about those who interpret the Chinese character "Crisis" as "Danger + Opportunities." There are quite a few of them, such people who not only know that this hieroglyph is translated into Russian in this way, but those who “rise” during a crisis are almost up from their knees.

Here, I remember 2008. Two girls in one department. Approximately the same age, which was closer to Balzac's at that time, approximately the same position. One widow, the other divorced, each adolescent boy in his arms. Then one of them took the path of minimizing their costs. Straight, tough.

Saving.

She moved to a man whom she didn’t love, she did it for the sake of economy. Reduced travel costs by getting all kinds of benefits, food, clothing, and so on. I went into almost suspended animation, into survival mode.

Personal business.

The second girl … moved out of the room, renting an apartment. I got involved in a mortgage while they were giving. New building. Her obligatory payments somehow sharply exceeded her salary, without bonuses, which they were going to cut even more.

The bottom line is as follows. The thrifty girl saves even now. She is used to this, she can teach a course on how to save money in a big city, but she has no time to mess with it, she would have to survive. The second girl teaches a similar course on how to live successfully in a big city. Her mortgage was paid ahead of schedule, because she had to move to pay for her ambitions.

NegEntropy.

And here is the time to talk about the opposite of entropy. Scientists call it negentropy, anti-entropy, to emphasize its opposite direction. Direction not towards the chaos of the system, but towards its ordering.

Apparently, different systems are characterized by both. Entropy, described as a physical process in the second law of thermodynamics, and negentropy, a term denoting the degree of ordering of the system, or (attention!) The quality of the energy available in the system, is also inherent.

Have you ever noticed that there is always too little time to do something else? For example, sports or training. "And when?" - the age-old question. Yes, time is an insidious quantity. Take my mom. All her life she jogged, knitted, sewed, prepared dinners and preparations for the winter, attended a cutting and sewing circle, took us to rest at sea, helped with lessons, studied healthy eating, and this is all except for working in a responsible position.

Here she is retired. Despite all fears, retirement turned out to be not good, but very good. But there is not enough time for anything now. Just for the pool, walking with sticks and household chores. Where did the time go? Mom says she has become sluggish with age.

And where is the time for young housewives, freed from office work, caring for children? Having been on maternity leave myself, I confirm: there is no time. Well, it’s not enough for anything as long as you sit at home all day.

Time.

How to make time appear?

I always get involved in new projects, moreover, in the midst of unfinished old ones. More precisely, the current ones. I barely have enough time for them. But what to do with that awl in the priest and how to extinguish the pioneer fires in the same sacred place? I light up, take on one more project, there was not enough time, and there is not enough time … but now it is not enough for three, but for four parallel projects. Which do not hang, but are embodied and are at different stages of completion.

Perhaps the energy that I spend on projects becomes of a different quality, just like in the phenomenon of negentropy, perhaps I become more orderly, which is also a sign of this phenomenon, as a result, I get high productivity in the face of a lack of time. And these are "hard times" in the "time" category.

Hard times.

Any difficult times can be lived through. You can "wait out" them, you can use them for your own benefit. Each action has its own opposition, maybe that's why personal growth coaches so often say "go towards your fear." And also "give people what is missing or not in your life." Strengthen the deficit. So, as with time.

I suppose these guidelines are not for everyone. And you don't need to. The universe "loves" balance.
