Did you know that the area that you call your 'office' is a direct reflection of you? If your environment is clean and uncluttered it projects that the person who works there is calm and has everything under control. Consequently if it looks like the local rubbish tip then the impression others get is that this person is disorganised Rays Corey Dickerson Jersey , and a complete mess.
Now before any of you get upset with these assumptions, I'm just stating the fact that the way you have set up your office will greatly affect how other people perceive you.
Of course, clutter is not the only area to address if you want to project a professional image Rays Matt Duffy Jersey , however it plays a bit part. There are several easy to implement ideas which will have a dramatic impact on your productivity, providing you take action.
If you seriously would like to turn your office into a powerhouse of success, then take action on these tips from Feng Shui guru Debra Jarvis?
The First Step
Move everything out of the area designated as the office Rays Kevin Kiermaier Jersey , especially what's stored in cupboards and up on shelves. There is no place to hide from Feng Shui eyes. Bring back in only those items that are relevant. Evaluate the other stuff, do you love it, is it useful? If not get rid of it (sell Rays Chris Archer Jersey , dump or give it away).
Everything in its Place
It is important that all items have a designated place to which they are returned after use. Put things used frequently in the most accessible spots. Time spent working is much more pleasant when we can easily locate and access items when required.
Set up Your Power Position
Place yourself in the power position. This is the position where you have a view of every entryway. Where you have a choice of places or directions, put your office chair in each position and sit quietly for a few minutes getting an idea of what it would be like to spend time there. The one that immediately feels right is your power position. When you set yourself up in the power position you have control in the space, your self-esteem will go up and you accomplish more. Try it for 28 days and if you don't find any benefits (including increased business) then change the position.
Clean and Clear Clutter
Maintain a clear desktop. Paperwork is relentless in its onslaught. Deal with it immediately Rays Lucas Duda Jersey , use TRAF (Toss, Refer, Act or File). Creating a pile to deal with later creates clutter and clutter is bad Feng Shui.
Remove Obstacles
Make your office area inviting to come into. In Feng Shui it is considered that opportunity flows to us in direct proportion to the ease of entry and the welcome that is experienced in our workplaces. This applies even when we are the only ones who ever go there. Only have items that you personally care for. Feng Shui tells us that everything is alive with memories Rays Evan Longoria Jersey , feelings and associations. What are the objects in your office saying to you? Question their origin, did you come by it because that's all you could find at the time, are you still in a good relationship with the person who gave it to you Rays Wade Boggs Jersey , would something else be more suitable?
Condition Audit
Does everything in your office work and is everything kept in optimal condition? In Feng Shui it is very important that we either attend to the repair of items immediately or where we are not prepared to do this we discard them. An item that is less than ideal is said to begin negatively impacting after 28 days.
Lighting
Use natural light as much as possible. Use incandescent electric lighting in preference to fluorescent. It is less tiring to work under especially if you are also operating a computer. Harsh white light is not optimal for working under. If you have to use fluorescent use full-spectrum (daylight) bulbs and experiment with only utilising half as many ie: where there is a double fitting only install one bulb.
