From the author: I found this material on the Internet, and it seemed not only interesting, but can be useful to everyone who resists the correctness of the rules established once and for all, who feels a sense of guilt while living, like a fish out of water in chaos. In my life, I paid attention to two opposing trends: 1. if I am in the creative process and search, the order in my house disappears, melts like a summer fog))2. but it becomes life-saving if I’m at a dead end: I can’t make a decision, I don’t understand the situation. In this case, it’s worth putting a new order in closets, bookshelves, and enlightenment sets in in the inner space. “In order to forget about the rules and live in your creative disorder, you need courage.” “If a mess on the table means a mess in your head, then What then does an empty table mean?” Einstein A. We live in a very patterned and predictable world. Almost everything in it is neatly packaged and organized. Society constantly strives to maintain order in everything and everywhere at all costs. But all this is nothing more than an illusion. We have been taught superficial ideas about symmetry. Life in fact is unpredictable and chaotic, although it seems to us that if everything “ organize”, then it will be much better. But in reality it’s the other way around. For example, you think that you need to buy a few more pants to have enough “for all time”. You buy more. And then it turns out that all the things no longer fit in the closet. And he is simply doomed to chaos. Thus, having created “order” in one place, you immediately create it in another. You decide to throw all unnecessary things into the trash can. There seems to be “order” at home, but the world as a whole has become dirtier. Here is what physicist Adam Frank says about this: This is a law of physics. The harsh truth of life is that the Universe itself is chaos. How can you put things in order at home or in your life if it goes against the nature of the universe? In fact, no matter how much we try to keep our lives in order and our home tidy, nothing works. There is always a mess here and there. What to do? Say yes to the chaotic nature of this world. Accept. People who always have a messy home are stigmatized. To those around them, they seem apathetic and leading a “wrong” life. But this is simply not true! Disorganized people are better than everyone else. If only because they do not allow the false illusion of order to dictate their daily routine. Jim Morrison spoke well on this topic: I am interested in rebellion, in chaos, in chaos. It seems to me that this is the path to freedom. This does not mean that every aspect of your life needs to be plunged into chaos. Being organized is sometimes important and even useful. But you have no right to judge people living in disorder. Believe me: order is greatly overrated. People who have a constant mess at home are not lazy. They are creative and courageous. Common sense tells us that cleanliness is the key to efficiency and productivity, but this is not true. Eric Abrahamson and David Friedman, authors of the scientific bestseller “A Perfect Mess: The Hidden Benefits of Disorder,” write: Clutter is not necessarily a sign of haphazardness. You can work more efficiently at a table on which everything is scattered than at a clean one. When a person's desk is a mess, it doesn't mean he's doing a bad job. This means that it works so well that it simply has no time to clean up. In other words, clutter may actually be a sign of efficiency rather than carelessness. University of Minnesota Ph.D. Kathleen Vohs conducted a study and proved that people who tend to throw things around random and accumulating garbage are actually more creative than everyone else. As part of this scientific work, Vohs conducted one interesting experiment. She divided 48 volunteers into two groups and asked them to find creative ways to use a ping pong ball. One half of the experiment participants were placed in a clean, tidy room, the other half were placed in
