How to create a motivational writing area by Johan Dahlberg

No one can tell you what motivates you, but you can learn about what different features to consider when creating a motivational writing area. There are many aspects, some less obvious, that effect both your motivation to write as well as how inspired you get. A motivational writing area should take care both.
Here are 6 things to keep in mind that will help you create the perfect space for your writing tasks:
1. Type of writing
Whether you're intending to write fictional stories, fact-based research reports or anything in between this is the first thing you need to make clear to yourself. Some things work better than others depending on what type of writing you'll be doing. For example, work-related reports based on facts often require more motivation while fictional writing might require more of the inspirational aspects.

4. Ornament
Another important thing to reflect on is what to add to your area, besides the essentials. Decorate the area using items such as paintings or personal things such as pictures of family or friend. Make sure your space has a lot of variety as this can help your workflow grow. In addition, plants can have a stimulating effect while also contributing to the atmosphere of your area, so consider adding plenty of those too. Also, it's worth mentioning that some people like a messy area as it helps them work better while
