Feng Shui (pronounced as "fung shway") is an old Chinese method of organizing material things to draw beneficial energies. It is founded on the notion that something about a person's external environment influences their spiritual core. Feng Shui studies recommend that the location of things in a room, house, or other areas will impact the stream of chi (spirit or vital energy) into space. If there is a strong chi circulating, the person in the room will get a burst of happiness and success. Pretty spectacular when you think about it, right?

Remove the clutter and arrange items in a manner that fits the work style and personal interests. Cerrano recommends setting by date or type, using painted binders if it applies to you.
However, Feng Shui is not a magical solution; instead, it offers a tactile indication of society's elements that you admire or work to change. Chin states that feng shui is "a matter of opinion, a viewpoint or maintaining proper balance."
