Desk Size: Big tasks need a big desk. Don't try to multitask on a single-task desk. If it's bugging you, and you feel unusually cluttered, it's probably too small. Choose a right size desk - no too big not too small.

Desk Style: Think about the style of the desk and what it is projecting. Are you a fierce corporate litigator but your desk says, "I'm a coffee table currently posing as a desk?" I doubt that your life as a corporate litigator would continue with this desk because in the feng shui world your environment mirrors who you really are and what you think about yourself.

Paper Clutter: Now, let's talk about clutter and organization. Here's the obvious: 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. At least 50 percent of your desktop should be seen at least once a day. If that hurts to hear, you need to look under "Organizing Services" in the Yellow Pages.

Desk Location and Setup: Next, let's pick on the desk 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. My advice is to turn your desk around if at all possible and get that wall or partition behind you. You should be able to see the door into that office from where you are sitting.

Cubicle Cures: If you are stuck in a cubicle, the traditional feng shui cure is to place a mirror in front of you (at your desk) so you can see the door in the reflection. Now, you have "the door" (even though it is the reflection of it) in front of you.

Getting What You Want from Your Desk: Let's get out that ancient road map again -- the bagua -- and see what it says about the stuff on our desk. When you sit at your desk, the bagua will be laid onto it in the following manner. Picture the top of your desk divided up into nine parts like a big tic-tac-toe board.

Clean your desk, cupboards and wastebaskets regularly and remove unwanted objects/papers.
