South wall of Bosruck - North Limestone Alps - Landscape photography - Duration: 8:47.
My videos are sponsored by people like You.
Become my Patron. (Support my channel)
I really like to take off snow from car.
I don't even know why but this task which most of the drivers really hate, for me is a real pleasure.
Maybe it's because I really love winter and taking snow off from the car is just a preview of interesting conditions.
This is how looks the beginning of the day when I start my travel to Austrian Alps.
I need to go through 600 kilometers of local roads what means around 10 hours of driving.
I head off to Northern Limestone Alps, to be precise Ennstal Alps.
There should be my first target of this trip.
South Wall of Bosruck North Limestone Alps
05:30 AM, Next morning.
It wasn't the worst night in my life.
Most of the time it was quite warm.
Maybe not super comfortable but still quite warm.
Cold woke me up around 03:00 AM
But fortunately I had a thermophore with warm water.
I boiled two pots of hot water and poured it to the termofor
which is, by the way, still warm and it was enough to keep me warm.
It was so warm that I don't heared my alarm clock. I'm already a bit late.
So my plan is basically destroyed so...
There is no chance to fix it but will be fine...
Target for today is mountain called Bosruck.
It is around 1992 meter above sea level.
But during the sunrise I would like to be on the saddle which is around the wall.
With view on the Bosruck.
We will see is it possible.
And then, after the sunrise, if I will be feel strong enough I would like to go straight to the top.
Just to saw how it is, here in the Alps.
To be honest at this time I should be already on the saddle, but I'm not.
So I decide to use this atmosphere of very diffused, ambient light.
So I will shoot right now, right here.
It is very simple composition.
Snowy road lead us to the winter landscape, mountains appear straight from the fog.
It looks very nice.
It's not the view which I wanted to have but still really pretty.
Very first rays of light just touched top of the Bosruck mountains.
Mountain which I will try to climb today.
We will se is it possible.
I am pursued by the fog.
I runned away from the fog.
So the view is just absolutely amazing.
Target of today's plan was to climb on the Bosruck which is behind my backs.
Right on the top which is 1992 meters above sea level.
But it is look just impossible.
A large snow cover, the trail is not frayed.
I also feel yesterday's 10 hours of driving, I don't feel strong enough.
And I also realized that only the photography gear I had is about 7 kilograms.
Tripod, camera, first lens, second lens, spare batteries, filters, etc...
All together is around 6 - 7 kilograms.
And then You need to add winter equipment.
So crampons, pick, warm jacket, hat, two pairs of gloves
And then again You add climbing gear, harness, linge, carabiners, helmet...
At the end there is so much equipment that it's really hard to take it to the top.
I need to consider how to reduced weight of this stuff in future.
And of course I need work constantly on body conditions cause it's very important to be fit.
Maybe that's why good landscape photography are so expensive cause they required athletic conditions.
I am on this saddle where I supposed to be 2 hours earlier.
Unfortunately this one hour which I lost by miss alarm clock
And then the trail which is much harder than I supposed it will be
All together causes that I'm too late.
But it's not a big deal cause the view is so incredible, of course in my opinion.
Sun is also low enough so light doesn't look flat, there is many shadows here.
And again, view from this perspective is just stunning.
Everything thanks to it south wall which is almost vertical. If You will cut a piece of this landscape You can easily fit it to Himalayas or other 7000 or 8000 meteres mountains.
So I decide to take a shoot anyway.
It will be a close up which will focus on the most important part of Bosruck.
The south wall, full of cliffs, spiers, overhangs etc.
So I try to shoot a really raw part of this mountains.
There will be nothing complicated if we talk about settings.
Focal length 75mm, aperture 8.
Shutter speed around 1/1600 of a second.
So You absolutely don't need a tripod.
But because I already carried it here I will definitely use it.
So let''s take a shoot.
I think it's a good time to go. Here, on this saddle, there is quite strong wind.
Shooting landscape photography it's basically standing still in one place so it's actually pretty cold right now.
Beautiful place with beautiful view.
I have hope to come back here at some point.
And then if I will be prepared better maybe I can achieve top of the mountain.
But now it's time to go.
Thanks for watching! Please see my others videos on Youtube!

#24 The Bow and Arrow - Improve your English - with script, questions and answers - Duration: 19:51.
Hi.
Good morning everybody.
How are you today?
This week, I want to talk to you about the bow and arrow, and something called the archer's
paradox, which I think is rather interesting.
Before that, as always, don't forget, if you click on the link in the About section below
here, you can find the script for this talk, you can find questions and you can find answers.
And, if you have any ideas for topics you'd like me to talk about, please put them in
the comments below.
And as always, if you like these talks, please subscribe and you can get them every week.
OK.
So, a bow and arrow.
Where ... when were the bow and arrow invented?
Well, we don't actually know, to be honest.
They probably existed about 64,000 years ago, probably.
Why don't we know?
Well, because, what is a bow and what is an arrow made of?
They are mostly made of wood, and the string is made of animal parts, dried animal sinew,
and the arrow is made of wood as well.
And what happens to wood?
Well, it disintegrates.
If you put it on the ground it biodegrades.
It gets eaten by bacteria and it disappears.
The same with trees outside that die.
However, the arrowhead, the top of the arrow, those sometimes last, and they last because
they're basically made of stone, or flint, or obsidian, which is a type of volcanic rock,
I think.
And, if you get shot with an arrow, the shaft of the arrow very well may biodegrade, but
the stone will not.
Now, generally, those stones look like regular stones, but quite often, if they're found
inside somebody, you can say, "Ah.
That was an arrowhead."
And, of course, arrows and spears are different because a spear head is much bigger than an
arrowhead, because it has to be weighted for the spear to fly correctly, which means an
arrowhead is much smaller.
So, if somebody ... if you find a skeleton with obsidian blades inside them, most likely
they were shot by an arrow.
So, we can guess that arrows and ... bows and arrows existed about 64 ... 65,000 years
ago, which was the Upper Paleolithic period of human life.
Now, these people were basically hunter gatherers.
The bow and arrow, they were used for fighting, but more than that,
they were used for killing animals.
Spears are good.
Spears can be thrown pretty far, but you've got to be quite strong to throw a spear and
it takes a lot of practice to be accurate.
A bow and arrow, you can fire a lot more arrows quickly and you don't have to be that talented
... that skilled to hit your target.
If you can fire ten arrows, one of them may actually hit your target.
So, as I said, bows and arrows generally don't survive.
So, from thousands of years ago, these don't exist.
Unlike swords.
I mean, swords are made of metal.
If you drop a sword, it's probably going to survive a few thousand years.
If you drop a bow and arrow, it will have disappeared within a few years.
So, we don't have any bows and arrows really.
Also, we don't have any record of them because people back then didn't have a written tradition.
So, it's very difficult to say when they actually came into existence.
We do know that they started in central Africa.
We have found flint and obsidian blades in Central Africa from thousands of years ago,
so we ... well, from actually ... er ... about fifty thousand years ago.
So, we know that that's where they started.
And they spread around the world from there.
Interestingly enough, they didn't actually get as far as Australia.
Australia ... the aborigines in Australia, they don't have a tradition of bow and arrow.
They use boomerangs instead.
Boomerangs actually have an advantage over a bow and arrow in that they can be lethal
at a greater distance.
If you're highly trained with a boomerang and you throw it, you can kill a kangaroo
2 ... 300m away from you, where a bow and arrow probably couldn't reach that far.
And, if it could reach that far, you'd very ... you'd be very unlikely to actually hit
your target.
So, a boomerang can be lethal at a greater distance.
Of course, a boomerang does take more training than a bow and arrow does, but that's probably
why bows and arrows never developed in Australia.
Also, Australia being an isolated island is probably another reason for that.
Anyway, we do have a bow and an arrow from about 9,000 B.C., about 11,000 years ago.
That was found in Denmark.
It's called the Holmegaard Bow, and it was found in a bog.
When it fell into the bog, it was protected from the bacteria ... protected from the things
that biodegrade wood ... and it was preserved as it is.
So, the oldest bow we have in existence is from 11,000 years ago in Denmark.
OK.
Now, the type of bow we found in Denmark was a straight bow.
Basically, a straight bow is about the length of a person.
It's made from one piece of wood.
Either elm, or maple, or cedar, or bamboo in Asia.
And that piece of wood was flexible, obviously, and it was strung with a piece ... with a
... with a bow string.
And this was usually made of animal sinew, dried animal intestines, or dried animal muscle
that was stretched.
And when you pull it, the piece of wood is flexible, it bends, it transfers energy to
the arrow.
And when you release it, it fires the arrow.
Now, bows like this, they have to be pretty big, basically, about the height of me.
Longbows like that could fire an arrow very very far, but you had to be extremely strong
to do it.
Now, these types of bows and arrows were the most common to begin with.
However, a bow that is as big as me is very difficult to use.
It's very unwieldy.
It's quite large.
So, when people started to ride horses, when you had the invention of the cavalry, you
couldn't ride a horse and use a longbow ... a full-sized bow.
So, the people in Asia, the Mongols basically, the nomadic peoples in Asia, they came up
with a different type of bow.
About 2500 B.C., they came up with a bow that is called a composite bow.
Now, what that is ... the basic straight bow is one piece of wood.
It's one single piece of wood.
A composite bow is made up of different pieces.
You have a piece of wood in the middle, then you have a piece of horn on the inside, and
then you have multiple layers of glued animal hide on the outside like this.
Now, a bow like that can be much much shorter because the horn, when you pull the drawstring,
the horn compresses and it stores energy.
And the hide on the other side expands.
And, because it is elastic, it will contract back to the original position.
So, a bow like that can transfer the same amount of energy to an arrow as a longbow.
And also be much much shorter.
You can use a composite bow while you're riding a horse.
However, composite bows are very very difficult to make.
They take a long time to make.
You have to season the wood, then you have to layer the wood with glues, and then you
have to layer the horn and glue that on, and then you have to layer the pieces of hide
and glue each one on separately as well.
It takes a long time to make.
And also, bows ... composite bows are very very susceptible to humidity.
If you live in a humid environment your bow is very likely to either warp or the glue
can actually come unstuck.
So, composite bows tended to exist in drier climates because they're not very strong in
humid climates.
And the Mongols were obviously famous for using the composite bows.
Genghis Khan, with his cavalry on horses, they were famous for being able to fire arrows
extremely quickly and extremely accurately.
And they of course used compound bows.
So that's the bow.
An arrow.
Arrows were generally made of wood again.
Ash, elm, willow, oak, bamboo, if you live in Asia of course.
That wood had to be flexible.
We'll talk about that in a second.
What do you call the basic parts of an arrow?
Well, up here at the end, where it nocks on to the drawstring, you have what's called
the nock.
Then the feathers.
My arrow doesn't have any feathers, of course.
Those are called the fletching.
The main part of the arrow is called the shaft.
And at the head, at the end, you have the head, the arrowhead.
A lot of names in England and America came from professions like this.
There is the name Fletcher.
A fletcher was the person who put the feathers on to the arrows.
There is a name Archer.
An archer was somebody that fired the arrow, of course.
A lot of professions from olden days have become names.
Like Goldsmith, or just Smith in general, I suppose.
Anyway, those are the parts of the arrow.
OK.
So, bows and arrows are extremely effective.
With a little bit of training, your average trooper, your average soldier, can fire it
quite a long way and can cause a lot of damage to an opposing army.
So, general battle would have archers in the distance who would fire arrows at each other,
and then the infantry, the basic people, would charge at each other, and they would fight
with swords and knives.
The archers of course, would stop firing once that happened because they didn't want to
hit their own troops.
However, of course, in the fourteenth century, guns started to be developed and once the
gun was invented the arrow stopped being so effective ... stopped being so popular of
course.
However, in the beginning, in the fourteenth century, when guns were invented, they were
too ineffective, they were too slow.
It took about a minute to load and fire a gun.
You had to put the charge down the barrel, then you had to put the ball down the barrel,
then you had to put the kindling on the top here, then you had to light it and spark it
and fire it.
It took about a minute all together.
Not very easy to fire of course.
However, in the eighteenth century, guns started to improve.
They became a little bit better and you could fire them a little bit faster.
Although, still not so fast.
Warfare starts to change around about then.
You have ... you have fewer of the two armies charging each other and more of two armies
shooting at each other.
basically.
Then, of course, the nineteenth century, guns were changed again.
You had the invention of the cartridge, the bullet and threaded barrels.
A threaded barrel means that when you fire the bullet it rotates, and it can go straight.
Before then, you basically had a ball, and the ball would spin everywhere, and you had
no idea where it was going to go.
Maybe, one out of ten bullets would actually hit the target.
But, once you have rifling ... a spiraled groove up the barrel ... you make the bullet
spin this way and it will go exactly where you want it to go.
Very very straight.
So, once that happened of course, the bow and the arrow disappeared.
Nobody has fought with these for hundreds of years.
Now, we just use them for sport and for hunting, of course.
All right.
I want to talk to you about something called the "Archer's Paradox" today.
A paradox, of course, is when two or more statements contradict each other.
For example, in time travel, we talked about the grandfather paradox.
You cannot go back in time and kill your own grandfather because that would negate your
being in the present and you couldn't make the time machine to go back and kill your
grandfather and it's a circle.
That's a paradox.
Well, the archer's paradox is this: If you have ... if you notch an arrow on your bow,
and you pull it ... generally the arrow goes this side of the bow ... where is my arrow
pointing?
It's pointing off to the left, over there.
My bow is pointing at the target.
If I point the arrow at the target, my bow is pointing off over there.
So, the archer's paradox is this: How can an arrow that's pointing away from the target,
hit the target?
That's the paradox.
Now, there are three ways that this paradox is solved.
Well, it's not really a paradox, I suppose, but there are three ways this works.
The first way is with a general longbow.
When you fire the arrow, because the arrow is made of a very flexible wood, the arrow
bends like this.
So, when I transfer the energy from the drawstring to the arrow, what actually happens is the
arrow bends like this.
The drawstring comes over here.
The arrow flexes this way, and bends like that, and then when it goes past the bow it
flexes back again, and it flexes through the air like this, as a snake, all the way down
until it hits the target.
So, because the arrow is flexible, the archer's paradox is not a paradox.
The arrow goes round the bow and hits the target.
People obviously knew that even though you were aiming at the target you could still
hit the target, but it wasn't actually proven ... people didn't know why that was until
the 1920s.
And what made it possible to prove was the existence of slow motion filming, of course.
Up until the 1920s, people couldn't video slow motion.
You can't see an arrow.
It goes too fast.
But, with slow motion video, you can actually see this movement.
And, if you look on YouTube, you can find lots of videos of an arrow doing this through
the air.
It's very very impressive.
So, the first way that the paradox was solved, well, the first natural way the paradox was
solved, was that: using a flexible arrow that curves itself around the bow.
The second way is done in Asia, in basic Japanese archery, kyudo.
What happens there is, the arrow is on the other side of the bow.
When you have an arrow on this side of the bow, as in most archery, the drawstring will
always hit your wrist here.
Like that.
So, you have to have a leather pad here on your wrist to protect your wrist.
In Japanese archery, the bow ... the arrow is on the far side of the bow, like this,
and you fire, like this.
And you pull the arrow back, past your head.
You pull your arrow back to about here.
So, generally, you have this kind of posture, with the arrow pulled back almost as far as
your ear.
And when you release it, again, you have the same problem.
The bow is pointing at the target, the arrow is pointing away from the target.
So, how can the arrow hit the target?
This is the archer's paradox again.
Now, the Japanese way of overcoming this problem is thus.
When you grip the bow in Japanese archery, you keep your hand very very tight, but not
on the bow itself.
You basically form a shape like this with your hand and your fingers press tight together,
but they leave a space in the middle there, and that space holds the bow.
So, when you pull the drawstring, the bow is resting against the space between your
thumb and your forefinger there.
You don't actually have to hold the bow.
Now, as you pull the bow, you start like this, as you draw the bow, it ro ... ... Ah!
I broke my bow!
This is my daughter's bow!
Oh dear.
She's not going to be happy!
... As you pull the bow ... as you pull the drawstring, the bow rotates in your hand,
and it catches against the loose skin and it becomes under tension.
And, when you fire the arrow ... when you release the arrow,
the bow rotates in your hand.
So, you fire the arrow this way, but the bow rotates, putting the arrow in line with the target.
You fire and the bow rotates in your hand and the arrow goes round, comes around in
line with the target, and does the same thing as a Western bow: it snakes through the air
like that, and hits the target.
So, that's the second way of overcoming the archer's paradox.
The third way of overcoming it.
Modern bows, of course, are not made of wood, they're made of many different materials.
And, because modern materials are much stronger than wood, are much stronger than composite
bows, you don't have to worry about the shape so much, so you can actually cut a space out
of the middle of the bow.
If you look at an Olympic archer, they pull their arrow ... they draw their arrow right
in the middle of the bow.
It goes through a space cut out of the bow, like this.
So, they are actually firing directly at the target.
So, the archer's paradox doesn't exist anymore with modern bows.
You can fire an arrow straight at a target.
I'm not very good at that.
OK.
That's basically the archer's paradox, and the history of the bow, which I thought was
quite interesting thank you for watching.
I thought I'd show you a little bit more about how to use a Japanese bow.
This is the arrow, of course.
Here's the nock, here's the fletching, the feathers, the shaft, and the arrowhead.
This is a Japanese bow.
This is a glove.
It's called a "kake".
This glove is made of deer hide and this is basically for catching the drawstring.
This is a hay bale over here.
You're not supposed to fire an arrow with feathers into a hay bale, but I'm going to
do it just so I can show you the arrow with feathers, itself.
As I was saying earlier, you don't hold the bow as tight as you do a Western bow.
And also, you fire the arrow on this side not on this side.
I'll try and show you.
I'm not very good, but I'll do my best.
OK.
So, we start like this.
We raise the bow.
We notch the arrow at eye height.
Hooking it to the drawstring.
It's quite a long bow, as you can see.
Ok.
The hand down here.
We look at the target.
Check the bow is OK.
And then we hook the thumb part of our glove on the drawstring here.
Then we grip the bow here, but as I said, you've got to be careful not to grip the bow
too tight.
It basically just rests in your hand, and as you turn it, it pulls the skin in your
fingers.
Ok?
So, we raise the bow up.
I'm supposed to be looking at the target, but I'm looking at the camera.
You raise the bow up.
Then first we turn our hand.
And then if you can see, but right now I don't need my fingers here, the bow is just resting
in the crook between my thumb and my forefinger.
Ok?
We pull the arrow down.
And it should be resting about your mouth height.
And then as I fire, the bow should rotate.
And that's it.
That's how you fire a Japanese arrow.
If I play that in slow motion, you might be able to see it. I'll try.
Anyway, thanks for watching.

before we get started today I wanted to talk to you about two things the first
one is before I started this podcast it was a blog now back in May 2017 I
started my comic blog that you see every day that I post on the site just
recently the first four months have been released as a paperback book you can
read about it from day one May first the day that we found out that my wife was
diagnosed with breast cancer the book is a collection of those daily posts from
May through August of 2017 so if you're interested go to americanbandito.com/book
that's americanbandito.com/book it's also available
on Amazon and in the comiXology app and also I wanted to tell you about Sticker

and get $10 towards the stickers of your own
logo or whatever you have shipping is also free americanbandito.com/stickermule
Now here's the show. I'm Tom Ray and this is American Bandito. If you
do create your own things it's really easy to let it take up all of your free
time and of course you think to yourself that's what you want to do but we all
know you don't want to do it at the expense of enjoying life or family and
friends there has to be a way there has to be a balance but when you're in
charge of yourself how do you manage that so my question this week is how do
you make time for your personal life
since the people I'm talking to this season actually have a place to run I
would think that it's an even harder task for them so let's find out how they
do it Mia at Stone fence it's an easy answer
she makes the time because of her family I do a decent job of that I kind of out
while my kid was still young that I would be home when I needed to so on the
other end my payroll is probably a little higher than it should be but I
think it's important so I do a pretty good job of that Laura and her sister
take trips but they end up thinking about work as they see things around
them my sister's husband will attest that both of us are really bad at
separating things out when we go to another city we go look at their paper
stores and we try to find like the indie craft shows it usually do anyway like
but we're like this is work it's hard because there's like it's so much a part
of who I am like this store is me just to say how do you separate yourself from
it that's hard but I do find when we first opened a store I had this idea
that I would come in and I would like stand at the cash register and I would
work on art projects and I brought so many art projects into the store 2nd 3rd
year I was like that's not gonna happen there's like certain kinds of art that
you can do here there's certain like production stuff that I can do and then
there's other stuff that just requires a certain level of concentration that you
just absolutely can't do in this retail setting because your concentration has
to be under Custer's you know even when there's no one in the store there's the
potential for a customer and so you can't ever like separate yourself out
and say now is my time to really think about where I'm gonna paint next on this
piece of paper so like that kind of creating for me has moved back home
so I do have like at night things that I'm working on sometimes it's specific
for the store other times it's like a little bit of playing and in the back
half of my head I'm like how am I gonna make this into a product to sell at the
store but you know I also have to just say well this is just what it's gonna be
and sometimes it's a year later and I look at something like oh that's gonna
turn into this sometimes I'm just creating because I think for for both my
sister and I from childhood creating has always been something that we do that
was always something that our parents provided space for and you talk to
people who are runners and they would die if they couldn't run everyday right
basically that's how I that's how we are about creating so it's not really a
question of can you separate yourself from that it's that by having this store
we've been able to bring it more into our life than we would have in another
sort of work setting how do you can't along all the ideas that you get for
stuff you're gonna make in here it's really hard we have we have no books my
sister is she's a drawer so she is like constantly drawing designs for cards and
prints here and so she always has a notebook that she's carrying with her
and sketching stuff out you know so especially when we travel she'll look at
we just we went to Portland this summer and she was like oh like we want that
postcard but we want a Madison version how do we take that make a Wisconsin
version since I constantly tried to come up with ideas so I actually I had a
funny manager who she said to me once that she believes that God gives you
ideas mm-hmm and if you don't use them fast enough or well enough God takes
them away from you that just seems mean I know I have so many ideas and sounds
like I just need to write everything down and then God can't take the road
for me so far I still have little books
Tammy from bohemian bobble tells me that it's the other way she actually needs
help staying focused on work I'm kind of good at that sometimes too good
sometimes it's hard for me to stay motivated especially like in October
every October I say I'm gonna take October and even though I don't have any
shows I'm gonna crank crank crank and build up my inventory and it'll be
smooth sailing through the holidays and every year I don't do that I'm just kind
of lazy yeah like Netflix binge watching so I'm not I really need a show to get
me motivated hmm so like my show season will start this weekend and I'm think I
better make some stuff this week although I still have a pretty good
inventory from from over the summer but family time is harder though because
shows around the weekend so that is a little bit more difficult then your kids
are getting to the age where they don't want to go to them well my daughter I
almost kind of forced her to come with you you have to and like I do the
farmers market on the square so I'll be like Jim come on let's go and she'll
like nap under the table during the day or it's early yeah it is early but I can
usually convince her with food and smoothies and things like like beans
Pizza yeah yeah or whatever my son never wants to go but he'll help sometimes so
you have a harder time separating the work into your family life yeah huh yeah
pretty impressive look at you being all conscious your family Leah and Rebecca
at booth 121 our family so they spend lots of time together at work and
outside of it well we don't know especially since for family yeah yeah
well I mean when you show up for a family thing you can't go hey what my
husband's very involved in this and he builds stuff for us and so he's
interested in it it's just more of a conversation area Rebecca and I see each
other enough so that we can handle business at work we don't have to take
it outside of work I have a question I can text her when I need it yeah but
we've been on family vacations together we have family dinner almost every
Sundays we never talk about work that snippet and that's more one of us was
there and the other one wasn't and something major happened and that lasts
for five minutes but you know as you know you have kids
and so sometimes when you get home you don't have any options yeah it's no
longer about work so they really keep us focused on making our home time about
being at home and I didn't realize coming into this just how close-knit
this whole hobby so big because other sister mom well she always thought
that's something that we were missing in the store is more clothing so is she
Rebecca and I have no fashion sense we cannot be trusted when they had no it
she's kind of she saw was that numerous times yes yeah I don't know if there's a
ploy to get us to dress better or so she started she is now into the buying of of
clothing and she's got a couple of clothing lines here that's nice
yes sale yeah so she's no she's involved in the business as well but again I
don't think when we have when we get together outside of here because we we
do it often yeah so it I guess maybe that's the other part technology makes
it so easy that if I have a question I can just ask it and I'm gonna get an
answer whether it's in five minutes or four hours but it's still gonna get it
so when we actually do see each other by that point thanks for pretty much
Anastasia of confection ich takes trips with their husbands to stock up the shop
but she still needs to be reminded to leave it once in a while I exercise
every day I hang out with my husband I have four
grandkids you have travels a big part of what we do I spend time drumming I spend
time in my studio sometimes my daughter will call she'll say weary and I say oh
I'm at the shop putting final touches on a I said I should be done today and she
says mother you're never done and it's true it's true I could stay here I've
got to limit myself but I could stay here forever oh I should move this or
hang this or what other idea comes to mind but I have to tell myself I have to
be done and leave and I have a deal with the lady at the desk
she'll come knock on my door and she'll let me know when she's leaving for the
night and then that's my I need to leave for the night you have to have somebody
tell you to go to bed
tami at hedge arthouse says she needs to learn to separate things when she does
get a day off she was able to hire some employees to help her deal with that
recently I think that's the eternal question for an artist or somebody that
owns the small businesses how to find balance in their life and ongoing
struggle for sure but I I try to take off one day a week and it's hard though
cuz I almost always work from home when I like tomorrow is close to Monday's
supposed to be my day off but I know I have so much to do so I'll be doing a
lot of admin but I do I just I'll just go for a bike ride or do something just
where I don't have to think about work but right now honestly there is no set
time or anything and I do yoga it's nothing that's making you go oh what did
I get myself into no I mean I think I can imagine it'd be like having a second
child they think it's gonna be a breeze because you already have one and that
one is doing great but but once you have once it happens you're like wait this is
a lot more work than than I thought it would be but it's also very fulfilling
and I really enjoy it so you I may be working a lot but I also
it's nothing that I don't go home and cry at night you know I mean there's a
lot of times where I have to keep myself away just because I know I need to have
a day off from the shop but I do have some great employees so I don't I know I
don't have to be here all the time physically it is it's just balance is
just one of those questions so hard I don't know when it's ever gonna happen
for me and maybe I've actually achieved balance and I just haven't realized that
you know maybe I don't need to have like a regular schedule I actually know that
made me think when did you decide to take on employees when hazel started
before that I had did have some artists that would help me out in hatch so they
would just come in and basically volunteer their time for a couple hours
and then that gave me some time to run errands I go to the bank or do whatever
I needed to do but I also had shorter hours we weren't open on Mondays and
yeah so I extended things a little bit once both came into place
Janet mother fools he does what I'm guilty of he occupies his time by
switching to one of the other projects that he works on so he doesn't burn out
on one outlet I do a lot of things photography music it's really easy for
me to just kind of work around the clock and a lot of times that's fine because I
like everything I'm doing it's not like it's not like I'm going to a factory and
punching in and working on the clock every couple hours I'm changing activity
I've got a edit these photos oh I'd better run over and do paperwork about
it fools it's like I'm actually yeah merely doing things I enjoy not 100% but
mainly but you don't feel like you're neglecting anybody or anything in your
personal life sometimes okay I've never definitely have been relationships that
I have had to just kind of for go because schedules didn't work out and
I'm not willing to give up a lot of the things I want to do so yeah I've had
that yeah anything you do in this world there's a cost and a benefit but I get
the ink from the hole you're not punching a time clock going okay time to
drill the washers or what I don't know why that's the example I went with I
guess for some reason I pictured engineering since 1/1000 is still a
fairly new business she doesn't think she makes enough time yet I'm really
struggling with something that I'm working on and it's actually something I
mean I laugh but it's serious because I learned I had an epiphany last week that
I make okay I created this community in this business around things that I loved
and now there might work and now I don't and I don't participate in them because
I'm like I'm the Builder behind-the-scenes and so
when we do a workshop I don't take them because I'm hosting them and that's
really sad to me because those are all things that I love doing I used to have
friends over and we would make stuff and I used to bake things and selmak now
what do I like it's a whole new world for me and I'm like well I really love
building a business but it's not healthy do not have downtime so it's at and I'm
in this interesting phase where it's really critical for me to be working 60
or 80 hours a week but it's also very unhealthy because you it's really it's
in all those down times whenever I actually take them when I have like the
biggest aha moments anyway but definitely running my own business and
running the studio it's totally a work-life blend I don't even think
there's gonna be like I here's my work life and here's my home life anymore
like that's not possible and that I'm okay with that it's more so I need to be
making time to take care of myself and take care of the people I love that's
something that when somebody doesn't predefined your day for you anymore like
when you don't have to be to work from 7:00 to 4:30 or whatever you have to
figure that out and that's a little bit more challenging it's to figure out I've
been taking the dogs to the dog park almost daily for a walk and I listen to
podcasts mmm I'm I walk and that has been a step in the right direction
I took a workshop oh you did yeah I took Monday and last weekend in the world is
mending mending a modern mending it's mending your clothing oh you know I used
to do that and it's back don't call it darning technique to repair Dean it's
got a certain stitch yeah I took home ACK and that was about the extent of my
sewing and or mending knowledge Kyle at pieces on imagined has a pretty solid
attitude about his free time it's his and he's gonna find ways to use it
that's the one thing that I have done pretty well but I'm basically out of
here by for everyday okay and I'll come in maybe at 8:00 and then I might do
some overtime here and there but I make sure I have fun we get away I have a
cabin up north make sure we get to it yeah get into a conference last week in
Florida do it just get away you have to because that's why wasn't workaholic
before and in the antique store I had it was major successful but I was like
working 18 hours a day maybe he like literally and I did that for years and
it was that was foolish yeah you don't want to burn out on your own place no
way was it you just wasting life life is meant to enjoy yeah and that's one of
the reasons a lot of people start doing things like this is because they want to
enjoy it right and then I usually lose themselves and I will admit sometimes it
does feel like it encroaches but at least now I'm old enough to be able to
say if the place fails fine mmm it's gonna fail I'm gonna enjoy
I mentioned before that like John I just switch up what project I do but to
explain it more I have a few things that help me balance that I use the Pomodoro
method when I can which is I set up a 20 minute timer when I'm working on
something and when it stops I take a 20-minute break usually to do something
else that isn't project related like I take a walk or something I even do this
at work it helps clear my head sometimes I come back and have more
ideas for what I was doing also I set appointments on my calendar each day to
make sure I do something else even if it's something simple like watch a movie
with my wife or go out to dinner otherwise I would just tell myself I'll
do it later or I'll do it tomorrow so far it's helped me figure out how to
work on several things at a time so I just thought I'd mention it Thanks to
