What we draw on
Our educational guides and productivity recommendations are informed by publicly available research and established practice in areas such as cognitive psychology, learning science, time management, and digital well-being.
- Foundational work on the Pomodoro Technique (Francesco Cirillo).
- Public writing on deep work, attention, and knowledge work.
- Research and reviews on spaced repetition, active recall, retrieval practice, and deliberate practice.
- General guidance from accessibility, ergonomics, and digital wellness literature.
How we use it
We translate established concepts into practical, plain-language guidance and defaults. We avoid presenting any single method as universal and try to explain trade-offs and limitations alongside benefits.
What we don't do
We do not publish clinical research, original studies, or peer-reviewed findings, and we do not present our content as a substitute for academic sources. Readers seeking primary evidence should consult original publications and review articles.
Updates
Guides are reviewed periodically. If you believe a recommendation is outdated or unsupported, please use our Corrections Policy.
