Avoid sitting close to walkways or doors were noise and movement could easily distract you.

Avoid beams & low hanging objects over head. Feng Shui is quite big on this rule, not only in the office but also in places such as your bedroom (above bed) and living room (above sofa), the reasons being, it can bring the feeling of compression and stress.

(5) Lighting

Lighting is one of the three treasures of Feng Shui. Light in our eyes is what wakes us up and sets our biological clock. Take advantage of natural light as studies have shown that it improves productivity and work performance. Glare on the other hand reduces this productivity. If natural lighting is too harsh, look into fitting blinds.
