Here's a productivity tip that will save you time and energy. And it's so simple. Which is exactly why it works.
You have a recycle bin on your laptop that you use to discard unnecessary computer files. You toss them into the recycle bin and empty it periodically.
Why not do the same with your paper files?
Instead of anguishing over whether or not to read industry periodicals because you are afraid you will not be fully informed, why not forget about them for a while. Get them off your desk. Toss them into a "Feng Shui Recycle Bin" in the back of your desk file drawer.
Here's what is going to happen. You will get them out of the way. This frees up your attention – and energy, so that you can now focus on more important matters. You can do the same with faxes you have recently sent, and so many other documents that suck up your energy through unnecessary attention.
Your Feng Shui Recycle Bin will clear a space that frees your mind, and in the process, increases your productivity. It works because in the back of your mind you know that paper is there if you need it, but you will find that 99% of the time you never will!
Do you half-read industry publications because you feel you must. Stop! Put them into your Feng Shui Recycle Bin and you will feel safe. They are there if you need them. That's the power of this tool.
Just like the recycle bin on your laptop, you can periodically empty this one. This practice will remind you that you don't need that junk – and that alone will energize you even more. Amazing, isn't it?
If you are not familiar with Feng Shui, it is a science that helps human beings harmonize with their environment. You can interpret that in many ways. In the work environment, this means productivity.
Since selling my landscape business two years ago, I no longer practice Feng Shui as I did when I designed meditation and healing gardens. Nevertheless, I still respect and honor these principles that enable me to be more effective in my work with social media marketing.
Some people think of Feng Shui as an esoteric science. Here's the thing; you don't have to be trained in it to understand it. It is common sense. As a landscape architect, I understood that good design was good Feng Shui.
If you are really interested in Feng Shui, I highly recommend The American Feng Shui Institute. This is where I learned and earned my certification with Master Larry Sang and Chris and Sophia Shaul, – more years ago than I care to mention.
Social media and Feng Shui have one thing in common.
They are about people, and how they interact in a shared environment to accomplish more – more easily.
