How we make lessons
Where our lessons come from, and how we use other people's work.
How we use research
- Our habit, focus and planning lessons are built on published studies. We explain the ideas in our own words and write every example and exercise ourselves.
- We don't quote or copy research papers, books or articles, and we don't base lessons on any self-help book.
- We keep a record of every study behind each lesson, with a link to a free version where one exists. We share it on request.
- Ideas from research aren't guarantees. Results in studies are averages, and your results will vary.
- The researchers haven't reviewed or endorsed our lessons. Any mistakes in how we explain their work are ours.
How we use tool documentation
- Tool lessons are checked against each vendor's public documentation. The screens in lessons are simulations we draw ourselves, not screenshots.
- Product names and trademarks belong to their owners. We're not affiliated with or endorsed by any vendor.
Not professional advice
These lessons are general education about work habits. They aren't medical, mental health, legal or financial advice. If stress, focus or motivation problems are affecting your health, talk to a qualified professional.
