WORKSPACE

Generally-speaking, companies create crazy office environments in an attempt to draw attention to their creativity, their brand - or to stimulate certain feelings upon entering the workplace. While most companies do not embrace crazy office design, a few do, and a few have gotten it right. Let's take a peek at a few great examples of crazy office design.

Gather and redistribute – Gather up every item that isn’t where it belongs and put it where it does.

Purge your office – De-clutter, empty, shred, get rid of everything that you don’t need or want. Look around. What haven’t you used in a while? Take one area at a time. If it doesn’t work, send it out for repair or toss it. If you haven’t used it in months and can’t think of when you’ll actually need it, out it goes. This goes for furniture, equipment, supplies, etc. Don’t forget about knick-knacks, plants (real or artificial), and decorations – if they’re covered with dust and make your office look shabby, they’re fair game.

Establish work “zones” – Decide what type of activity happens in each area of your office. You’ll probably have a main workspace (most likely your desk,) a reference area (filing cabinet, shelves, binders,) and a supply area (closet, shelves or drawers.) Place the appropriate equipment and supplies are located in the proper area as much as possible.

Get a good labeler – Choose a label maker that’s simple to use. Take the time to label shelves, bins, baskets drawers. Not only will it remind you where things go, but it will also help others who may have a need to find, use, or put away anything in your workspace.

The the tool you'll use when deciding where to place the furniture in your room is called a ba-gua. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Draw a floor plan of your room. Include the windows, doors, and furniture. (yes, draw it!)

Step 2: Draw four angled lines across the floor plan to make eight triangular sections. (draw this too!)

Step 3: Use a compass to locate North. Mark it on your floor plan. Next, locate South, East, and West and mark them on your floor plan. Then add Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, and Northwest. (just make a guess where north is)

Today many people around the world practice a very old Chinese belief system. They believe that everything in nature has an energy called Chi (chee), and there is positive Chi and negative Chi. The way we use Chi determines the outcome of everything we do. This is called Feng Shui (fung shway). As a person who is constantly growing, exploring, and changing, you might find Feng Shui useful as you create your own environment. Let's look at your bedroom. You spend about a third of your life in this space. It is important that your bedroom reflect your personality. This will help you stay comfortable as you grow and reach for your true potential.

Step 4: Study the ba-gua grid. You may want to move your furniture to the sections that will improve your activities in those areas. For example, if you and your family member seem to disagree a lot, you might want to put a blooming plant in the Southwest section of your room to create harmony.
