Feng Shui Tips For Your Home Office

Did you know that over 50% of women now run their own home business or work from home? Get your compass out and find the following directions because we are going to try and make things run a little smoother for you using the ancient art of object placement - Feng Shui.

The most ideal locations to situate a home office, in order of best to second, third ad fourth best are the North (the Career Sector), the Southwest (the Wealth sector), the Northeast (Skills and Talents sector) or the South (the fame and recognition sector.) If possible try to locate your home office in one of those locations.

Here are some other general tips that are thought to bring prosperity to your business.

Always sit with a solid wall behind your back to ensure that you have support in your life. Never sit with a window behind you.

In the office always place the fax machine, telephone, and computers in the southeast wealth sector, as this will attract more contacts.

Position your desk to have a clear view of the door. If this isn't possible, hang a small mirror so you can easily view the door's reflection.

Don't put a shelf over your desk. This symbolizes burdens the world crashing down on you at any moment. The heavy shelf also symbolizes burdens and difficulties.

Avoid having sharp accessories, such as a paper cutter blade or the corner of a Xerox machine pointed at your desk. It is shar chi that symbolizes the cutting knife-edge or a disapproving finger pointing at you.

Make sure that you can walk completely around your desk in a full circle. This makes sure colleagues or workload does not cramp you. You should have space to breathe!

Do not have clutter in your office. Desktops must be kept tidy and clutter free. Avoid placing In and Out trays on your desk. Try to keep what is in use on your desktop.

If you own a NCR or cash till try and place that in your southeastern wealth corner as well.

Avoid placing cactuses in your office as the needles of these plants are thought to create negative shar chi. Shar or sha chi is stagnant or harmful energy.

In your office, never have the main door opening into your desk as this causes you to be faced with unexpected situations to deal with. Never have a door jamming against your desk, or your prosperity will always be blocked.

Do not place your desk in a room so that it is between two doors because this causes chi to rush by and pass you by along with all of your good fortune. In other words the good energy walks in one door, right past you and out the back door!

Never set your desk at the top of a staircase as chi will roll down the stairs and cause you loss of opportunity and wealth. If this is unavoidable, place a mirror above the front door looking in and facing the staircase.

If people entering your business immediately face a wall and a long corridor try placing a hanging crystal in this area to allow good chi to accumulate. Also place mirrors here to direct the chi into your office.

Do not place large electric equipment, such as photocopy machine or microwave near to the main door. These are considered to be "hot" items that cause energy to dissipate. Heat causes the dispersal of good chi.

Do not place paper cutter or fax machines or any machine with a blade next to the front door. The "cutting" energy can cause staff and customers to be unpleasant and even possibly to back stab and fight each with other.

Do not place an empty vase next to the main door, as empty vessels suck good chi trying to enter your place of business. If you have a vase make sure it is full of flowers!

If you have candles in your office, light the wicks to make sure they are burnt, even if you don't plan to light the candle. An unlit candle is bad feng shui as it represents the limitations of possibility.

Place a fish tank or fishpond in the southwestern corner of your office. If this is not possible consider building a Koi pond in the southwestern sector outside your building.

To enhance your wealth and prosperity, position your indoor water feature in the southeast element of your home or office. For career luck, place it in the north. A tabletop fountain made of bamboo or flat round stones is always good for this purpose.

If you have a company signboard or logo it should be optimally placed in the southeastern area, the Southern area or the northern area of your home office.

May wind and water shower you with many blessings!

The idea of converting your unfinished basement into space you can use daily is a great one, but somehow time gets away and it continues to remain at it was. There are some great ways to get your basement finished if you are still contemplating the idea. While you are brainstorming how you want it to look keep your budget in the front of your mind as well. You dont want to run out of money for the project before it has been completed. In most cases refinishing your basement will cost you much less if you decide to do the work on your own. The actual materials will only cost about a 1/3 of the price of having a contractor do the work for you. Some people add a kitchen or bathroom to their basement but in most cases they arent practical and they will definitely raise the cost involved.

Not only do you need to consider your budget but you have to take other things into consideration including your plumbing, water proofing, electrical wiring issues, and cabinet space. You also have to decide who is going to do the work so that you can budget accordingly. Of course a contractor is more expensive but then they will take care of all the details for you. If you decide to hire a contractor then make sure you check their references as well as previous work that they have completed. You may also want to look into the credit rating of a particular contractor.

If there is a certain layout design you want implemented in your basement then make sure you share that information with the contractor you hire. This will assist them with taking care of heating, cooling, and electrical issues. It many cases the current set up can be left how it is but in some instances it will have to be redone. Make sure any plans for your basement include an easy way to get out in the case of an emergency.

Facts You Should Know about Cleaning Your Laptop

Like any maintenance procedure with a laptop, it's best to learn what the recommended procedure is before you undertake cleaning your unit. If you're a frequent traveler, you may want to clean your laptop more than once a year. Most manufacturers recommend an annual cleaning only. Don't use any harsh cleaning agents or those which contain ammonia on any part of your expensive piece of equipment.

You're going to find all kinds of goodies that build up on the inside of your laptop including pet hair and dander, cigarette ashes, crumbs and dust. The dirt will mar your display and affect the performance of your fans, and block or cause other problems with your I/O ports. You're going to need a few basic tools to undertake a cleaning. To start with, go into your local computer supply store and get a can of compressed air. Find yourself some cotton swabs, cleaning solution and a soft cleaning cloth like from a cotton T-shirt. On the exterior, also use the soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Be careful to not use a scratchy or abrasive cleaning cloth. Refrain from using harsh cleaning products and never spray any cleaning solution directly into the casing, always spray it onto the cloth first.

one of the most critical parts of your laptop, obviously, is the display. Turn your laptop off for cleaning. This is an important item to remember. If you don't, dirt will accumulate more easily on the screen. Make sure you use the cotton T-shirt that is nonabrasive and never use paper towels or tissues to clean your display. Don't use any ammonia-based cleaners as they leave a film. You can always purchase monitor-cleaning solutions in pre-moistened wipes or spray cans. Always spray the cloth first, and then wipe the screen from left to right and then top to bottom. If you wish, you can make your own cleaning solution using Isopropyl alcohol and water. Mix one part water and one part alcohol.

To keep your cooling vents free of dust and debris, use your can of compressed air to clean them. A couple of tips when using compressed air are, make sure that you don't spray it too hard and dont get liquid on the fan blades. Use the cotton swabs to hold the fans in place while you clean them, and never spray directly on them. Wiping them without holding may cause them to over-spin and damage them.

The next step in your laptop cleaning procedure is to make sure that your I/O ports are clean. Use cotton swabs and wipe away large pieces of dirt that have accumulated. The compressed air can be used to blow the rest of the dirt away and remember to be careful to not blow dirt directly into the I/O ports.

And finally, the keyboard should be kept clean at all times. Regular cleaning will prevent your keys from sticking or malfunctioning, and always remember to do your best when it comes to keeping food and drink away from where you are working. Even if liquids are not spilled directly into the keyboard itself, residue remains on your fingers and will transfer to the keyboard. Use your can of compressed air to get rid of the dirt buildup. Consult your user manual first as your keys may actually be removable and this will make it much easier to clean. If you end up removing your keys, remember to put them back in the right place when reinstalling them. You can use your cotton swabs to clean in and around the keys as well.

Just a bit of maintenance and attention to detail on a fairly regular basis will extend the life of your laptop considerably more than if no maintenance is done at all. Like any piece of equipment, your laptop is no exception.
