 The concept of Feng Shui is not limited to your home and the garden. Feng Shui is also essential for your workplace so that positive chi flows in your office making it even more comfortable place to work. Here are some easy steps for transforming your cubicle into a more effective work space through Feng Shui.
Clean Up: You can utilize a lunch hour effectively to de-clutter your office. Remove all your objects including the office supplies such as tape dispensers and staplers that are of no use more than once per hour. It wont take much time if you generally keep you work station clean.
Adjust Your Workstation: A workplace won’t be relaxing if you are surprised from behind at any moment. Hence, your Feng Shui workstation should be such that it you are able to see the entrance.
Display Your targets: Displaying your goals not only is motivational but also spreads positive vibes. Not only it is motivational but also gives out positive vibes!
Closer to the Nature: Come closer to the Nature. Keeping a plant in the workstation is a good idea to make your workstation pleasing.
Now the reality check. There’s no magic associated with Feng Shui. It won’t meet the goals for you, ‘coz it is up to you. Feng Shui will only help you to create a positive environment drives away all the negative energy and makes your workplace a comfortable place so that you are more focused on your goals.

 With the Holiday season, comes indecision- what to gift and what not to gift. The problem heightens especially when you have to gift your boss. Apart from hard work and lots of dedication towards your job, you must consider this before gifting anything to your boss:
If you have just joined the company or the department, first you should know whether there’s a gift exchanging culture or not. Many places it’s not appreciated. And also talk to people about what kinds of gift do they exchange generally. And if you’ve been in the company for a while, but now you’re in a supervisory position. It’s possible the rules of gift-giving have changed for you. Get a hang of that as well.
Price: Check around. Find out if there is a set dollar limit. If yes, then stick to it. Don’t spend more than the office standard otherwise you will be perceived as a show-off.
The Boss: Some people say that workplace gift-giving should be lateral. This means giving to a superior is not necessary.
Hence, keep the workplace culture in your mind before looking for a gift to impress your boss.

 Keep the recipient as the primary objective before giving a gift to anyone. This goes without saying that a gift should be well thought about and not just a run-of-the-mill sorts.
Here are some suggestions:
1. Gift Certificates. A gift certificate or voucher is good idea as you don’t have to brood on what the other person would like. Share the burden!
2. Edibles. Chocolates, pies, and cakes anything that you call gourmet goes with this choice.
3. Gadgets. Best for workplace folks, especially, if you are a bunch of techies and executives.
4. Entertainment. Share your favorite music, movie or game. Strive to think outside the box… (Personalized poker chips perhaps?)
5. Desk Accessories. You could give some cubicle decorative. Frames, little table clock, pen stand or a coffee mug. Awesome!
Now you’ve got enough ideas. So, ready to shell some money?
