Make no mistake, the Net is a mess. And if you’re honest, you probably are too. Approaching the problem from a New Age perspective shows you how to take control of the chaos at your fingertips.

Although feng shui principles are usually applied to the real world, your virtual environment could also benefit from less clutter. Follow these steps to desktop nirvana.
