  1. Use Feng Shui’s Bagua Map for Business to place things in your office. (Download an Office Bagua Map here.) For example, client files go in the Relationships area, while revenue-related items go in the Wealth corner. 
  2. Declutter! Clutter accumulates fast in a busy workspace.  Clear your desktop of non-essential items, create files that support your work, archive materials you no longer work with, and schedule one day per year for a total cleanup.
  3. Devote a half-day to unpacking boxes from your last office move so they don’t become obstacles, or worse, auxiliary pieces of furniture.
  4. Set up a tabletop fountain (affiliate link)if possible to symbolically bring in wealth and create subtle background noise.  Alternatively, a photo of a beautiful waterfall creates a similar impression of abundance.
  5. Use high-quality file cabinets — they can change your life because they’re built for easy access.  Lateral cabinets are only 18” deep, so they make a sleek, yet super-functional, addition to your workspace.
  6. Place your desk in the Command Position, facing the door. “No surprises” is something we want at work as much as possible :)
  7. Place a small fan under your desk to circulate air & Chi energy.  Its white noise soothes the atmosphere and provides fresh air that improves your ability to concentrate.
  8. Get a “do not disturb” sign for your door to reduce unwanted interruptions.
  9. Anchor your personality with a piece of art you love, awards or special gifts you’ve received, or anything that reminds you of your uniqueness.
