Beach Side Workspace

In the afternoon after picking fruit and teaching photography it came time for Annika and I to part ways and pursuit our individual tasks. She had been invited to go on an adventure to Rainbow Falls with some of her friends and as for myself there were some creative endeavors to be completed. One of my favorite beaches on the Hilo side is merely a set of calm pools created by lava rocks. Every time that I have gone there very few people, so it is quiet and an excellent place to read, write, play guitar and create. The CR-V has a hidden storage area that also stores a table. Upon reaching the beach my plan was to setup and enjoy the awesome view and work in the outdoors. No boundaries, no walls, open freedom and sunlight.
Multi tasking is sometimes distracting and conflicts with actually accomplishing goals, but for myself personally multitasking is mostly more efficient, especially when editing photographs and videos. My workflow has come to be just that… a flow of work. While the photos and videos are being transferred from the CF cards or a video is rendering, there are usually other tasks being worked on or I’m playing guitar. Having stated that, there is one lesson that has been learned over the years and that is to multitask on one individual project at a time. Meaning not to be juggling several projects at once. Have your main focus point and while that is on hold due to processing or other circumstance utilize the time further your knowledge and understanding in several other areas. In my case reading,writing or guitar are often the go to options during processing. This very much ties into the idea of always seeking knowledge and understanding as stated in the previous post “A Day of Picking Fruit”.

Unfortunately for me the power inverter that was in the CR-V was stolen a while back, so the battery life on my macbook is only good in a situation like this until a place with electric is found. One of my next major purchases will be another so it will be possible for total self sufficiency.
After my work was complete my running gear was thrown on and down the road my feet trotted. Finding another nice beach to work out at and be in outdoor isolation for a bit. A tree stump was used for pushups and a large rock was used as a weight for sit-ups. There are no excuses for not being in shape, especially in a beautiful location like Hawaii. It’s one of those things that is most definitely a process and you have to work for. Healthy and active living are mandatory for the kind of life that I choose to live.
Get out there and get it.
