12 Productivity Tips for 2021

ere are 12 ways to be more productive in 2021. These are simple tips that you can put into practice immediately to start your new year off right. 1. Start writing things down. In my opinion, the number-one thing a person can do to instantly feel more productive is dump out their brain onto paper. And then do this every single day. 2. EWO. Ending your day with order is something everyone can start doing immediately. This very small technique packs a lot of punch. Ending your day feeling calmer, clearer, and more focused is a smart thing to do AND it gets tomorrow off to a much more focused start. 3. The Friday 45. The Friday 45 is just like EWO but on steroids. This powerhouse technique tells you to put 45 minutes aside every Friday to prep your upcoming week, wrap up your current week, and let your brain start to let go of work for the weekend so you can enjoy yourself. 4. Tidy as you go. Waiting for an entire day to clean out the kitchen is one approach to clearing clutter … and one that might not happen for a while. Another is to tidy as you go. Marie Kondo’s best-seller from last year, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, really nailed this concept. Sure, you might have to do a big clean-out of areas, but to maintain space, you must tidy as you go.

5. Listen better and communicate more clearly. The better we listen and communicate, the more clearly defined our time becomes. Clear Is Kind. 6. Create a landing pad for your front entry. Coming home after a frenetic day is hard. Coming home after a frenetic day to a messy entryway is downright sad and depressing. Create the space that you see upon entering your house to be functional and inviting by having a place to put things that collect and gather (e.g., shoes, coats, bags) as well as a home for charging electronics, gathering mail, hanging keys, and wiping feet. This very small change can instantly increase your mood, which is a good thing for all parties involved. 7. Plan your meals. You have likely heard of this and maybe done it in the past — now is the time to put it into action. Look ahead on Sunday, write down the meals you’ll be making during the week, and go to the grocery store only once. BONUS: You’ll be eating healthier and saving money because you won’t be calling the pizza delivery guy at the last minute anymore! 8. Go to bed earlier. Get up earlier. Yes, I know it bugs you to hear this over and over … but it’s pretty impactful. Set a timer to start getting ready for bed. Then set your alarm just 15 minutes earlier to get up. It’s amazing what you can do with 15 extra minutes in the morning. 9. Touch things only once. Every time you touch that email, piece of mail, or item in your home to move it around, you have to make a decision

about it. Set your systems up that allow you to touch it only one time. 10. Have a weekly meeting with your partner (at home). This is a TOTAL game changer if you and your partner feel like ships passing in the night. You need to talk about lingering things like the checkbook balance, the party coming up this weekend, who’s dropping the kids off at school on Friday, what is the next step with the painting quote we got for the house, who’s going to fix the gate that got broken, and on and on and on. Consolidate these items into a weekly meeting. Have a regular time that you have your “business meeting” and hammer out all the details together around the business of your relationship and life. Having a glass of wine or bowl of ice cream during this meeting can be a help, too. 11. Have a weekly meeting with your team/supervisor at work. Communication is the lifeblood of any business, and it’s a crime when you aren’t having an ongoing, regularly scheduled meeting to talk through challenges and get feedback from others on increasing performance and working through problems that come up. Schedule this NOW! 12. Figure out a way to decompress and recharge. Is it exercise? Meditation? Playing guitar? Spending time with your dog? Or my personal favorite as of late … adult coloring time? Whatever you choose, it’s important to understand that this is precious time. You cannot go long without recharging and you don’t need a lot. A little goes a long way. Here’s to a beautiful 2021 ahead!

Designing Interiors for Wellness Practitioners

INDEPENDENT REAL ESTATE

JANUARY 14, 2021

realestate.independent.com

COURTESY

nterior design is not just about making a space beautiful or functional. There is a science to wellness-based design. Utilizing a wellness-based design approach will attract more clients and help you and your employees be more productive and happier. If you are a wellness practitioner, does your wellness office provide a supportive, safe, nurturing environment that your customers will want to visit? Here are some expert tips on how you

can get started to create a specialized space for your practice.

Relax with Nature

During the workday, people experience fatigue, and your waiting room can be a restorative space to rejuvenate both your clients and employees. Natural patterns, materials, and colors, along with plants and natural light, have been linked to a multitude of health benefits, including decreased blood pressure, increased attention, and increased psychological well-being. As we spend more time indoors now than ever before, people crave natural light and ventilation. Exposure to natural light has been proved to have a substantial impact on mood, circadian heath, and productivity. Consider adding openings that can illuminate your wellness space.

Keep Things Clean

Patients visiting your office can unknowingly track germs and other harmful contaminants indoors. Adding an entryway composed of grilles and grates will reduce the amount of

toxins brought indoors. Utilizing a design with slots will also allow for easy cleaning. High-touch surfaces such as counters or light switches can also harbor a high number of pathogens. Reduce these impacts by replacing materials on these surfaces with non-porous materials or coated with a material that is abrasion-resistant and non-leaching and meets requirements for antimicrobials. If you offer drinking water to clients and employees, regularly treat water sources with an activated carbon filter to remove organic chemicals and a sediment filter to remove suspended solids.

tion systems can help by counteracting toxic chemicals, as well as by decreasing combustion byproducts, airborne particulate matter, bacteria, and mold spores. Buildings in hightraffic or manufacturing areas have higher counts of chemicals and should consider adding a carbon filtration or air-sanitizing system. Beware of exhaust from bathrooms, janitorial closets, and chemical storage areas circulating through your building and have self-closing doors on those spaces to keep them isolated.

Combating Toxic Materials

A primary element of mindfulness and wellness is peace. In order to truly nurture your clients’ and employees’ wellness, noisy equipment should be separated from client areas. Walls with appropriate insulation and construction will help mitigate sound transmission between rooms. Doors can be fitted with gaskets, sweeps, and solid core for further noise reduction. High ceilings are a gorgeous design feature that often come with the unfortunate increase in indoor noise levels. Acoustical ceiling “clouds,” baffles, and sound masking systems will allow you to reduce unwanted noise while still appreciating the architectural design of your space. A completely silent space can be just as distracting as a loud one, so it is important to find a healthy balance.

Many toxic chemicals are used in the fabrication of building materials, furniture, and decor, and their off-gassing is associated with numerous ailments. Replace them with materials that meet the following criteria: Living Product Challenge label; Material Health Certificate from the Cradle-to-Cradle Products Innovation Institute; and have no substances over 1,000 ppm, as verified by a qualified PhD toxicologist or Certified Industrial Hygienist. Painting over your existing walls or furniture with nontoxic primer and paint will keep harmful chemicals at bay.

Ventilation

Proper ventilation is crucial for ensuring that your space is healthy and nurturing for anyone who enters it. Adding plants and filtra-

Message From the President

BY BRIAN JOHNSON - 2021 PRESIDENT - SANTA BARBARA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®

HOW TO PREPARE FOR PROPOSITION 19

roposition 19 was approved in November of 2020. Its goal is to give seniors, people with disabilities and victims of disaster the ability to take their current property tax assessments with them when they move within California. Previously, only 11 of the state’s 58 counties had opted in to the property tax portability laws that allowed an owner to sell their property in one county and move to another and take their tax assessment with them as long as the replacement property didn’t exceed the value of the relinquished property. This was helpful for seniors looking to downsize or move closer to family without seeing a huge increase to their property tax bill. It also allowed a property to come to market that might not have otherwise. The intent of Proposition 19 was to expand this to all 58 counties in the state. It also expanded the opportunities from just seniors to those with disabilities and those impacted by fires and other disasters. These were all positive outcomes for portions of our society that could be most at risk from new property tax assessments when they move. In order to pay for this measure there were changes to the inheritance laws for real estate. One big change was the closure of the “Lebowski Loophole”. This is in reference to the inheritance rules in California that law allowed parents or grandparents to pass on a property to their children or grandchildren after their death and the property would not be reassessed for tax purposes. A 2018 Los Angeles Times article reported on how Jeff

Bridges, the actor famous for “The Big Lebowski” and his siblings were benefiting from this by paying only $5,700 per year in property taxes on an ocean side home in Malibu that his parents bought in the 1950s while renting it out for $15,000 per month. Mr. Bridges did nothing different from thousands of other Californians who utilized the same law in the same way to benefit their children or grandchildren but because of the circumstances his situation became fodder for the Legislature to look to overturn these rules.

lion of current assessed value. So if a parent bought the house for $500,000 and it was now worth $1.5 million the house would not be reassessed. The exemptions for rental or investment properties were removed altogether so those would now be reassessed upon the transfer. Additionally, the proceeds from Proposition 19 are set to go into a fund that is to support fighting fires around the state.

Now the question becomes, “What can I do to protect my real estate investments for my children or Brian Johnson grandchildren?” There are avenues After the failure of Prop 5, a similar out there that should be investigated. effort to allow for property tax portability in 2019, the They include making gifts now to your children or setauthors realized that the state was going to go after these ting up the properties into entities that would allow for loopholes and if they could work with state legislators them to transfer upon the death of a parent to a child and other groups they could try and salvage as much without more than a 50% change in ownership. These of the inheritance protections they could while giving options and others should be considered in consultation seniors and others the much needed tax portability that with your attorney, CPA and real estate professional. Everyone’s situation will be different and there’s no one would benefit them and increase the supply of housing for all Californians. Thus, the compromise of Prop 19 was cookie cutter solution. There will be tax implications not born. The inheritance rules were changed so that a prijust for property taxes but for income taxes and capital mary residence could be passed down but it would have gains. However, by working with your trusted advisors to remain the primary residence of a child or grandchild you can protect your family and investments for generations to come. and there would be no reassessment on the first $1 mil-

Despite inventory levels remaining at around half of normal, there were more closings last month than any other December for the last several years. The demand has not slowed, and this market will stay strong through 2021, so if you’ve ever considered selling, now is the time.
