God bless everyone!
It's been a while since I made my last question here. But, I have one.
What is the difference between this two expressions?
1) ...if we will take a time.
2) ...if we took a time.
What is the best way?
Thanks in advance!

All of these are good:
"Things will be better if we pick a time to talk things over"
"Things will be better if we set a time to talk things over"
"Things will be better if we find a time to talk things over"
"Things will be better if we arrange a time to talk things over"
Or, you can use a modal (any modal will do):
"Things would be better if we picked a time to talk things over"
"Things would be better if we set a time to talk things over"
"Things would be better if we found a time to talk things over"
"Things would be better if we arranged a time to talk things over"
It is better NOT to use "will" twice, such as:
"Things will be better if we will pick a time to talk things over"
"Take" is not a good choice.

I don't understand either one. Explain the context.
