If you are working at home or have your business in the own house/ flat, you need special rooms therefore. What is important?

It's not good to just use the kitchentable. You can concentrate better in a separate part of the house. If you don't separate living and working area, you'll think during an urgent phone-call "Eh, have I bought milk?", or "I must clean the windows" ... These thoughts hinder your work.

Vastu helps to avoid disruption. Vastu helps to improve your work as well as your free time. Here are some tips for working at home.

Direction and shape

• north is a good direction for studies or scientific work and programming
• south is the best place for any business
• The business rooms must be far away from the entrance - so you are less disturbed.
• Shape of your office should be square or rectangle. Every further corner is potential dangerous: the room makes you restless. Or you think too often about the wrong things. If your office has niches, you can straighten it
  • with partition walls
  • built-in cupboards.

Desk

While sitting on the desk, Vastu advices to face to the north or east. Choose a good material: wood or marble are good choices. But while marble associates might and success, be careful: it is very cold. If you write a lot (with pencil or keyboard) you can get chilled. Leather on the desk can help.

You shouldn't face a wall. A wall can be a barrier even for the thoughts.

If you want to be successful, you need a good office chair. I think we know enough about ergonomy to choose the right one. So I don't go deeper into that topic. Golden rule: Don't buy from a catalogue, first touch the chair and sit. If that's ok, than it's ok:)

Little secret

I worked many years with desk and office chairs. In the end I came to my TV-armchair. My notebook stands on a little wooden board on the armrests. I don't really sit, I (more or less) lie in that armchair. And it's comfortable. Even after three or four hours. I can choose the best position by moving the seat back.

I think it is not adviceable, if you work with customers:) But if not - it's worth a try.
