1. Place your electronics on the left.
It is believed that the left side of the work desk belongs to the Green Dragon who brings prosperity and harmony to work. Whereas the White Tiger who attracts more challenges at work sits on the right side.
Placing your electronics on the left side of your work desk could help you gain favour with your bosses and colleagues and contribute to a smooth-sailing career.
2. Turn on music to remove negative energies.
To ensure peace of mind, play some music around you. Opt for calming symphonies rather than upbeat tracks as the latter is likely to distract you.
If you’re running your own business, playing calm music in the office is best for productivity. Furthermore, getting your clients to meet at a location with soothing music could mean higher chances of acquiring deals in your favour.
3. Have your work desk face the door.
The ideal place to position your desk is in the Feng Shui commanding position. This is where the door to your office is facing you and there is a wall behind you.
Avoid placing your work desk facing the window, directly adjacent to the door, or back facing the door.
4. Place a water feature in the North corner.
Water in Feng Shui is a symbol of abundance and prosperity. Having water at your work desk can help activate your true career potential. If possible, a running water feature would be even more effective as it symbolises money constantly flowing into your life.
5. Clean your work desk at the end of the day.
Take 2 minutes at the end of each day to clear out your workspace and give it a thorough clean. A cluttered desk reflects distraction and indecisiveness, blocking the flow of chi in your spirit.
Decluttering facilitates a process of deep personal reflection. Take this chance to show gratitude and take stock of what you have done for the day.
