Instead of trying to complete a task at one time, say to yourself, “I’ll work on this for 15 minutes and see how much I can get done.” Stay focused and challenge yourself to really get as much done as possible.

The golden ratio is a numeric value which was discovered by Euclid and shows a mathematical relationship which appears as a constant. The golden ratio is often known as phi number is necessary in order to calculate many different mathematical shapes and geometrical related elements.

Architects who have a formation on feng shui and follow its guidelines at time of designing their buildings, often use golden ratio as an important tool in order to achieve such goal. It can be used in architectural elements such as columns, pillars, overtures and windows as well as in general design of building.

Besides its architectural applications, golden ratio is also employed by feng shui experts through use of objects such as vases, flower pots, fountains, coins, candles, wind chimes, and many other symbolic ornaments which would balance to an environment. Often, we would not even realize ways in which this mathematical element is present around us and in nature by appearing through natural formations, flowers, plants, and even living beings.
