![]() ![]() But I hope I carried this message across somewhat. I don’t know if there is a way i could do justice for these concepts, justice. I just blame entropy and nothing else… □ What else is there to say? in closing So now when things go wrong and everything turns into a giant mess. Some may even say disorderly… we spend energy synergising to accomplish tasks. If there is a breakdown in communication, it hurts your teams output and makes things more chaotic. I relate this to work if you’re part of a team that has to work together to accomplish things. In fact, I will take an idea from the post for the title and call it a tax on nature itself, how if we didn’t have, the world would have no sense of urgency or need for innovation, and how being ignorant of entropy can lead to mistakes and failures. In this blog post, it talks deeply about entropy. ![]() Or the interview of Jordan Peterson, where he talks about “ cleaning your room before protesting to change the world”. It will encourage you that tomorrow will be better. McRaven, “ If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.” Because at least if you had a bad day, you come home to a bed that was made by you. It reminds me and maybe relates to the speech by Admiral William H. You have to start small and be realistic about what’s manageable, for instance writing a page or half a page, or just making small notes for ideas, then fleshing those out, or over a month going for a walk, then a power walk, then a short sprint, then a short run, etc… building from the ground up. You can’t write a novel in a week, you won’t run a marathon after 3 weeks of training. Lowering your standards of what is achievable, you weren’t born perfect, no one or thing is perfect. Now I just think about how things tend toward disorder, and I’m not nearly as cranky about things, I just blame entropy and the universe. I used to get annoyed at the mess that would pile up around my house, especially during the COVID lockdown, as the mess made from myself or family members seemed to lie until I finally got so fed up with it that I’d put work into correcting it, only to repeat the cycle again. Reading that book made everything so much clearer in my head. Tell that to the next person who demands things of you. It’s a pain because you are fighting against the tide of the universe, because everything wants to be in a state of disarray. ![]() Or to quote the book, “ any order we create however carefully can, be reversed over time.” Cleaning our homes isn’t a pain, because we have to stack and organise things, dust cabinets and move furniture. This structure can be anything we think, with the caveat that we have to put effort (energy) into maintaining it from our bodies, our mental health, our house, our relationships. We all work hard to have & maintain structure in our lives. We repeat the action again and again, only through expending more & more energy to fix it. We clean our house only for mess to accumulate slowly but surely over time. The Philippine House of Representatives passed a third stimulus bill on June 1 in a near-unanimous vote, which advocates say would provide crucial cash relief to Filipinos suffering from hunger and unemployment.We all put energy into keeping ourselves clean, we groom ourselves, we choose fantastic outfits, only to get dirty, and repeat all actions again the next day. The government passed two financial stimulus bills last year which provided targeted relief to workers in certain sectors, although critics have called them insufficient. But strict countrywide lockdowns instituted during the pandemic caused businesses to close and stranded informal workers from their sources of income. The Philippine economy had been on the rise before the COVID-19 pandemic, sustaining an average annual growth of 6.4 percent between 20.
