Step 1

Think about the design of the desk and what it is projecting. If you are a writer for children's books, does it say creativity and imagination?, or a place you use for people and star magazines and old coffee jugs? If you are a litigator, does it scream coffee table or success?

Step 2

Now, let's talk about clutter and organization. It's easy to fall prey to paper clutter. But everything should have its own space ,this includes your desktop and the floor around your desk. Think files, trays, drawers, bins, etc. Remember clutter leads to chaos.

 

Step 3

Location and orientation: If you've got a wall or a partition right in front of you as you sit at your desk, you are not in the most powerful position possible. Turn your desk around if you can and get that wall or partition behind you. You should be able to see the door into that office from where you are sitting.

Step 4

Career is the space right in front of you. If you have a glass top, place a picture of water beneath it.

 

Step 5

Center left hand side is for family. Place a pictures of your family or something made of wood in this area.

Step 6

Books can go in the front, or anything blue. This is for wisdom.

 

Step 7

The left hand rear, is for prosperity. Place a plant or something green. The computer also works well in this area.

Step 8

The right-hand rear part of your desk should be saved for your spouse, lover or anyone who is in your intimate world. Enhance this area with pink and the obvious "love symbols" like hearts or a red rose. Why not a bowl of Hershey kisses? Powered objects can invigorate the chi (life energy) in a space. If you are on line dating, you may use your computer to uplift the chi here if you need a little love jolt.

 

Step 9

Fame and reputation: In front of you, towards the end of your desk. Red is the best color for this area if you happen to have a red business card holder or other item. A plant works well here too (this would be the only place appropriate for a cactus). As fire is the element for this space, any candle or desk light would be right at home here as well.

Step 10

Creativity and children: Now we're at the mid right-hand side of the desk. Metal and white is what we are shooting for here. A bell is always a nice way to keep your attention on the task at hand. If you have any fun stuff like a kid's game or a coloring book, even a white candle or a little toy, that works well also.

 

Step 11

Helpful people and travel: Somewhere to the right and near the front (towards you) of your desk there should be a silver or gray box (these are the colors best here) - a book on travel or people who you consider mentors are also ideal in this space.

Step 12

Health: This is front and center of where you are sitting. Smack down in the middle of the desk should be a place for anything gold or yellow This is for health. How about a stone, or even a small plant with real dirt in the pot? If you have a glass desktop, place a picture of yourself at your healthiest or someone who is the epitome of health as a symbol.
