Lure luck your way at your workplace by arranging things according to the ancient Chinese design philosophy known as feng shui. To complete this How-To you will need: A plant A desktop fountain or fishbowl Blue, purple, and red desk accessories A black briefcase or laptop bag Photos A desk lamp Step 1: Get rid of clutter De-clutter your desk and workspace, which is the most important thing you can do to balance the _chi_—or energy—in your office. Step 2: Toss or fix anything broken Repair or get rid of anything that's broken—like a pen that's out of ink or a flickering desk lamp. They block your chi. Step 3: Get a plant Put a plant on your desk to absorb energy-draining emissions from your computer. Just avoid cacti, whose pointy needles attract negative energy. Tip: Try an orchid if your job requires you to suffer fools gladly. Feng shui experts believe orchids are symbols of patience. Step 4: Have a view of the door The placement of your desk and chair should allow you to see who's coming into the room. Business and opportunity symbolically come to you through the door; so don't turn your back on it. If you can, position your desk so a solid wall is behind you. Tip: To "watch your back" even more effectively, make sure your chair has proper back support. Step 5: Get a fountain or fishbowl Place a desktop fountain or fish bowl on or near your desk. These decorations activate the water element, inviting the flow of money and success. Feng shui aside, fish and fountains are relaxing. They'll help calm you down when you're stressed. Step 6: Use the right colors Use desk accessories and office supplies in blues, purples, and reds, which are the colors of calm, creativity, and recognition. Black is the color of money, so use a black briefcase or laptop bag. Step 7: Arrange family photos To promote harmony, place pictures of loved ones on the upper-right corner of your desk. Step 8: Keep garbage away Keep your wastebasket as far away from your desk as possible. If you must have one, place it at the bottom-left corner of your desk. Step 9: Adjust the lighting If your office has overhead, fluorescent lighting, try getting one of the bulbs removed to decrease the lighting intensity. Then, add a desk lamp that provides the right amount of lighting for your work area. Thanks for watching How To Feng Shui Your Workspace!

Jan 1, 2012 - I like to have a nice working environment, I found a great competition where they are looking to 'pimp my cube' and redo someone's entire office space, you have to upload a video explaining how bad it is and why they should pimp it, give it a chance it's free and you could win nice $ as well. Just go to contestfactory{dot}com/pimpmc for an office space revamp.

Aug 22, 2009 - I can see how all these things can make a person more calm and clear headed but it is more because everything listed are nice things and the color scheme is rather built into us. The idea that you can have a radiation and idiot fighting plant at your desk is rather laughable. I could break down how this all really works but it takes to much space so if you want to know just reply asking me to and I'll reply back with the answer. I still like the idea of promoting calmness at work though. :D

Aug 19, 2009 - I would like you to come up with one piece of legitimate evidence that shows that computers emit any type of radiation that is harmful to humans. Then I would like you to come up with one piece of legitimate evidence that shows that the radiation can be stopped by Feng Shui. I dare you, being able to stop radiation by having the correct "chi" in a room is a discovery that is nobel prize worthy...
