They also slightly vary based on your zodiac sign. The following four dates and time are believed to be lucky for going back to work for all zodiac signs in general. All except for the corresponding clashing zodiac signs, who feng shui experts say should avoid returning to work on that date and time.

Mark your calendars:

3. Make sure your office is well lit

The key is to make sure there is sufficient light in your office and the light is well-balanced across the space – no dim shadows and nothing too harsh. It’s important for your health and prevents your energy levels from dipping real quick over the work day. Natural lighting from a window would be most ideal, but artificial light works too. Some experts also say that having your own light source from a desk lamp help welcome more positive energy to your side.
