ten or twenty pieces of junk that have been laying around, unused for weeks or months. Do this bag-in-hand clean-up on a daily basis to maintain a clutter free work area.

Organize Book Shelves

If your home office contains bookshelves, now is the time to organize them. Start by arranging books in some manner. You may choose to divide titles by genre or subject matter or use an alphabetical order. The intention is to make the bookshelf easy to access and well organized. Dust the books and the shelf. Pull each book to the edge of the book shelf to keep the chi energy from being trapped in dead space.

Invite Energy Flow

Once you have removed trash and non-essentials and gotten your books in a manageable order, take a wide angle look at your entire office from top to bottom. Is the room as a whole open and spacious or cramped? An area that is crowded will impede energy flow. So rearrange with the intention of clearing the floor space as much as is practical. Perhaps those set of weights or the mini trampoline need to be in a family room instead of your office. After all, you are here to work, not to be diverted. What about your windows? Are they shining clean or dull with residue? Shiny them up! Pull apart curtains to allow natural light in your work environment. On the other hand, if the open window invites distraction, then keep the windows directly in your view shuttered.

Keep It Clean

Once you have completed your initial room overhaul, do not neglect your home office. Develop the habit of decluttering on a daily basis. The single most important aspect of feng shui is energy flow, and to achieve that, you will need to constantly remove objects that clog energy. Declutter, declutter and declutter.

Feel the Energy

If you wondered whether the practice of feng shui had merit, by now you are surely experiencing its benefits. Your home office is neat, attractive and open. The energy is flowing. Keep it that way, and your productivity will flow as well.
