I bet you didn’t know what motivational posters are capable of doing! It is a physical reminder that supports us in remembering helpful things. Often we forget these helpful things in our hectic daily lives. That’s what the Motivation Posters are for. To remind us of what we can’t remember all the time!
That’s why I made a few of these posters and will also fill this article with new posters in the future. Ultimately, there should be something here for everyone to print out yourself. Some motivation posters will tell you that you can do it. Others do something about your procrastination.
If you have ideas or feedback for posters, please write to me. I would love to hear what posters you need at your creative workplace!
Tip: If you place the poster in another spot after some time, the effect of this poster will be much higher! If it stays in one place, you will not “see” this motivational poster anymore because you will get used to it. If you put it in another location, you will notice it more again and your motivation will be back!

Screw annual resolutions! I have a better solution for you, which I have been doing for several years now. You destroy bad habits with it or form good habits that stay. Whether it’s creative habits or you just want to get up earlier. I’ll give you a foolproof guide on how to do it.
Change your Habits with a Challenge
I present to you “The Habit Challenge”! This is a challenge where you try to change your habits every month. Why only one month? Because that is often enough. You always hear about the 66-day rule to form a habit but fuck that. If it doesn’t work after a month, keep going for another month. And another month. Until it just works.
Do only one challenge and change only one habit! Anything else will overwhelm you, and you’ll give up anyway. You have 12 months in a year. Even if you take 2 months for each habit, you will have changed 6 in one year.
Make a physical note or use an app for your progress. Stick a homemade calendar on the wall where you cross off what you have done each day. On the piece of paper, write the challenge itself. Maybe also some information and tips.
This is how my challenge calendar always looks like. See below how I mark the boxes.
Now and then, you’ll see that the challenge doesn’t work. Maybe one that fails badly. Shit happens. Change it or make a new challenge. If it is important to you, keep doing it to beat the habit into you.
“Oh no, the month has already started, I can’t do the challenge now.” Stop right there! Hear this: You can start right now! It will be just a 2-week challenge to practice. Or you do your challenges from mid-month to mid-month. No one is forcing you to go by the traditional calendar. Make your own damn calendar!
The Habit Challenge – A Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1:
Firstly, write down what habits you want or want to banish from your life. Maybe how to change your perfectionism.
Plan the challenge, what exactly you want to do, and when precisely. Make it tangible! A challenge of mine a few years ago was to get up at 6 am, read for half an hour, and be ready to start working early. If you know you can’t do something, you can just start with the 5-minute rule: Do it for only 5 minutes. You can always add more time later.
Step 2:
Then take a piece of paper and draw 31 squares on it. Write the title of the challenge and what you want to do (as said, define it clearly). Put some tips and info’s on it if you feel like it. And anything else too! Let your creativity run wild.
Step 3:
Now do the challenge!
I use these marks on my boxes to get a clear vision of how my month went.
Step 4:
After a month (or whenever you want), sum up and analyze the whole thing.
Here is a list of questions you can ask yourself:
Did it not work? What exactly didn’t work? What patterns do you see in this failure? Can you do something else? Do I just have to keep going? Can someone help me?
Did it work? How did you do it? Can you do something the same way for your next challenge? What did you do better than the last time?
Analyze your failure and your success in detail. Sometimes one part of your habit worked better than another. Figure it out! Only through such a breakdown can you approach the next month better. It took me a few tries to form my perfect morning routine. To know what works and what doesn’t, I had to check and do my challenge again and again.
To change yourself for the better, you have to keep reminding yourself of the change you want or what helps you on the way. Too often, goals and intentions get lost in the routine of everyday life. How to achieve these goals or overcome the obstacles along the way is also quickly forgotten. Therefore, it is important to remember these helping things with physical aids. For this, I have created stickers that you can buy in my shop!
If you don’t have the money, you can simply download the images, print them out and stick them somewhere yourself. The files to download them are down below.
If you have ideas for further stickers, write me in the feedback form or an email.
The Distraction Stop Checklist will help you if you have no problems with anything else except the work you have to do.
You can download the High Res PDF file down below past the JPG picture. Print it out and put it somewhere at your place where you are working. Every time before you start you can use this checklist for a distraction-free work session.
