Digital Detoxification D

oes the thought of a digital detox — minimizing or even eliminating the digital inputs in your life — seem impossible? If so, then read on, because this article is written for you.

Levi Felix was VP and creative director for an L.A. start-up tech firm. After working 60-plus-hour weeks and being constantly plugged in, he found himself seriously overloaded and burned out. The stress on his mind and body landed him in the hospital with internal bleeding and serious health issues.

He now leads tech-free retreats around the country for groups and companies.

Some might consider this extreme, but I beg to differ. Our society is insanely plugged in around the clock, and it’s taking a toll on our bodies, lives, and relationships.

When was the last time you went to dinner and didn’t check your phone? How about when your partner went to the restroom? I bet you pulled it out to check, am I right? Consider the scary reality that our kids won’t ever know life without this as a societal issue.

My husband and I had a crucial conversation the other night about who’s plugged in more — him or me? As we discussed the why’s behind the need to stay connected, we also realized that there was room for better balance. After all, isn’t that what it’s all about — everything in moderation?

As we head into a new year, maybe it’s time to consider a change. If you’ve ever thought that you might need to unplug a bit more, Felix offers these five things you can do to take your own digital detox: 1. Pre-broadcast Your Detox The fear of missing something important leads many people to impulsively check their phones and email accounts several times a day. Instead, let other people know through social media, email, phone, or an in-person conversation that you will be offline and unavailable even if it’s for a few hours. You can give an alternative form of communication in case of an emergency.

“This will keep your nerves at ease and ease your temptation to find an excuse to jump online,” says Felix.

2. Buy an Alarm Clock Many people use an alarm app to wake up.

Having your phone by your bed, however, can create an urge to check your messages first thing in the morning. Instead, Felix suggests starting the day on your terms before getting wrapped up in email, Facebook, memes, the news, or other forms of digital communication.

3. Go Device-Free at Meals More than a third of employees eat lunch at their desks on a regular basis, according to a survey by talent management company Right Management. Felix says meals should be a trigger for unplugging. Jeff Gordinier wrote a wonderful article in the New York Times called “Mindful Eating as Food for Thought” and said, “TRY this: place a forkful of food in your mouth….

Now comes the hard part. Put the fork down.”

Felix advises, “Set mealtimes as an opportunity to connect with your food, the people around you, and yourself.”

4. Disable All Push Notifications Alerts from Facebook, Twitter, and email interrupt your day and your thought process. Instead, Felix suggests that you choose the time to check your messages and be intentional about it.

“Don’t let the beeps and buzzes of the online world pull you from the moment that you are currently enjoying,” says Felix. “Unless you are responsible for saving lives, you really don’t need to be on-call.”

5. Welcome Quiet Time With the world at your fingertips, boredom can be a thing of the past. But Felix says unoccupied moments can be magical, and when a lull leads to an urge to check your email or Facebook, resist it.

Think you can do it? Start with just one thing. Stop sleeping with your phone next to your bed or leave it at home when you go out to dinner or only check Facebook on your desktop computer.

You decide which makes the most sense for your

by Sara Caputo life. Start with something small and reap the benefits. Here’s to a new year ahead of being more attentive, focused, and plugged into the world around you!

Condos: A Great Option Q: I am ready to purchase my first home. In researching values, I realize all I can afford in Santa Barbara is a condominium. How is a condo different than a single-family home? What exactly will I be purchasing?

A: Making your first purchase a

condo is a smart move. It’s convenient and economical, and you’ll be in good company. According to the California Association, “there are over 49,000 Common Interest Developments in the state of California with probably over 9 million people living in them.”

But what are condos and how are they different than single-family

by Marsha Gray residences?

When you buy a condo, you purchase into a community. Your community is called the Homeowners Association (HOA). A condo association is a form of shared ownership, and the HOA is like a family.

Every condo owner is a member of the HOA and pays a monthly fee (the HOA dues) to maintain their shared interest. This fee may cover hiring a management company, common area maintenance, the outside paint, roofs, cable service, gas, water, or trash. The board of directors, voted in by the HOA, controls policy, dues and assessments, fines for violations, meetings, and minutes.

With a single-family home, you own the land and the

would be too expensive in a single-family home. The cons include relinquishing privacy and control. The HOA will dictate where to park, what kind and size of pet you can have, what color the outside of your home is, and much more.

If you have a limited budget, then a condo is the way to go. You’ll have more control over your living environment than you do as a renter. Buy your condo and become a property owner. You’ll be glad you did.

house, and you have total responsibility for the property. You maintain the infrastructure, the garden, the roof, the painting … everything. When purchasing a condominium, you own the inside of your home, from the paint in.

You may decorate how you want within the condo. The exterior is owned jointly by you and the HOA. If you have a patio, deck, or garden, that is considered “exclusive use” of a common area; the HOA owns it, but only you can use it. Any clubhouses, pools, or tennis courts are common areas enjoyed by all in the HOA. What are the pros and cons of buying a condo versus purchasing a single-family residence? The pros of owning a single-family home are privacy, more space, a private back and front yard, and deciding the color and design of your home. Single-family homes have better resale strength. The cons for the single-family home are utter responsibility: infrastructure, yard maintenance, plumbing, electricity, and roofs.

The pros for condos: your HOA dues pay for upkeep and maintenance. In addition, many associations offer amenities such as gyms, recreation rooms, tennis courts, and swimming pools. HOA dues contribute to items which

GOING GREEN

Ag Fields and Old Landfills Make Good Sites for Solar Panels

A

basic sustainable principle is solving multiple environmental challenges in a single project. My last article discussed siting photovoltaic arrays over California’s water canals to cut evaporation, conserve farmland, and produce clean energy. Another similar multifaceted strat-

egy is to locate solar farms on the 10,000 closed or inactive landfills scattered across the country. The few of these sites that have been solarized are mostly in New England.

The untapped potential to make old landfills into solar centers is enormous, enough to power 7.8 million homes, according to a Rocky Mountain Institute report.

I can’t say enough about the Epstein Partners. They go above and beyond the call of duty. They quickly familiarized themselves with my real estate needs and now I’m happily situated in a lovely condo in Goleta. They took the stress out of a stressful process with a smile on their face, working diligently on finding the right place, and were always available for my questions. They went the extra mile to make sure it was a smooth transition. They are experts in their field, showing utmost professionalism, knowledge, and care!
