Feng Shui at the work desk: in the office and at home office

The work table is the most important place in the office and home office. It can be said that it represents an extension of our professional life purpose. So set aside time in your schedule to organize and apply Feng Shui at your desk at home, business or commercial space, and you’ll notice changes such as mental clarity, increased creativity, focus and concentration.

Feng Shui in the office, Feng Shui in the home office or both. Follow these simple and practical Feng Shui tips at work and you will notice the difference in terms of prosperity and productivity, as well as a feeling of well-being and lightness in your daily life.

Why Apply Feng Shui at the Work Desk?

Where to position the work table? If possible, follow the Feng Shui guidelines to ensure prosperity in your professional life:

A command position is one of the most important Feng Shui guidelines. For easy memorization and visualization, remember one big strong armchair of a company president: there is back protection, armrests on the sides and you will definitely be facing the entrance. For a feeling of well-being and security, position your office and home office work table facing the entrance door of the company or room to ensure a broad view of the environment. AND behind the table there must be a wall – no window – for security. This is important for you to manage and command your professional life with clearer intentions and seeing solutions and opportunities.

The ideal place for the computer it is the center of the table, regardless of its format, as this is the corner of the career and nothing better than your main work tool in that place. The top center corner symbolizes success and recognition. Place a red object over the computer or a lamp behind it.

Right side

On the right side is the relationships corner, so put a beautiful picture frame with the photo of the couple or place two objects that form a pair. Then put the phone also on the right side to attract customers. Next, place a metal or multicolored object to inspire creativity.

Left side

Prosperity is on the left side of the table and that is the energy of money. To activate it, place a multifaceted crystal or a pyrite stone and ongoing projects (to learn more ideal stones for your home, check out this guide on Feng Shui and Crystals). In the center left corner is the family corner, great spot for a plant or potted flower. Next, there is the corner of wisdom, an ideal place for books about your career and topics you are studying.

What not to work on:

Scissors, stylus, letter opener and other sharp objects on the table, as they are negative and cut energy Under the table, do not place the trash can on the left side which is precisely the corner of prosperity Curled and apparent wiring Clocks stopped, which do not work or they are not on time Broken objects and appliances Old proposals or projects, or projects that did not work Messy drawers

Organization and Feng Shui in the office

On the table, living room or workstation, it is important to have personal objects and natural plants that, in addition to lifting the spirits and relieving stress, help with professional performance, as they increase productivity.

To gain mental clarity, activate partnerships, attract clients and success for the office, business and career, adopt some routine Feng Shui actions in the office to reap positive results:

Add natural plants like the peace lily, the zamioculcas, the anthurium that purify the air (see tips on plants in Feng Shui here).
Organize closets and drawers which should not be messy and too crowded.
Recycle paper weekly that are out of use: old projects, drafts, handouts, magazines, newspapers, bags, envelopes, packaging and any type of useless paper.
Computer: create filters to avoid excess e-mails and block spam, organize documents in folders by numerical, alphabetical order, customer name, project name and/or dates. Delete drafts and clean up excess files and programs weekly.
Organize projects, presentations and lists of customers and file the paper documents and cards. Check the paper agenda or planner and make sure the synchronization of the virtual agendas are synchronized and check your appointments daily.

Organization and Feng Shui in the home office

All the tips mentioned above also apply to the home office. But the difference is that working from home is an art, and requires much more discipline. Below, see special Feng Shui tips for the home office:

Organization: Keep your desk and the space around it clean, airy, and organized. Boxes and shelves nearby help keep papers, folders, books, and other work materials accessible and in order.
Environment colors: to have more focus, agility of reasoning and communication, surround yourself with yellow items, it can be a fabric or cushion on the work chair.
Light: the lighting must be good, if necessary, include a table lamp.
Plants: on the work table there may be a small violet plant or lucky bamboo.
Have an exclusive roomif possible, for your office or a demarcated space (by means of a screen, a curtain or a rug).
Visual: no waking up and working in pajamas, nightgown, sweatshirt or that outfit to wear at home. Clothing can be comfortable, but dress to attract success in your career. Red helps to have more energy and attitude, while yellow helps with communication and concentration. Orange stimulates creativity, green helps balance, purple attracts prosperity, and navy blue is indicated for quieter days that need more reflection.
Tasks of the day: make daily to-do lists to visualize them and prioritize demands, including everyday household chores.
Time: use the alarm clock/timer on your cell phone or an app to make better use of your time, especially for jobs that require more concentration and writing time, such as preparing proposals, presentations or reports.
Networking: working all day in silence and not seeing anyone can be distressing, so talk to people by phone or email, make contacts with audio messages or text messages, schedule meetings and online and face-to-face conversations when possible. This movement helps to publicize your personal image, your work and to activate the energy of harmony to attract clients and projects and open paths for new opportunities in a conversation.
