General information only

Everything on this site — the workbook and the articles — is general information and self-help. It's written to be useful to a wide range of people, which means it can't account for your particular situation, health, or circumstances.

Not medical or professional advice

Nothing here is medical, psychological, psychiatric, therapeutic, or other professional advice. Reading the articles or using the workbook doesn't create a professional relationship between you and us, and it isn't a diagnosis or a treatment for anything.

Not a substitute for proper care

If you're dealing with something like depression, anxiety, ADHD, burnout, or any other health concern, please speak to a qualified professional. Don't ignore professional advice, or put off getting it, because of something you've read or used here. A self-help tool can sit alongside real care — it can't replace it.

If you're in crisis or may be in danger, get help now. Contact your local emergency services straight away. In South Africa that's 10111 for police, or 112 from any mobile phone. If you can, reach out to someone you trust as well.

No guaranteed results

The methods behind the workbook — such as implementation intentions and mental contrasting — have research behind them, and we've done our best to represent that research fairly. Even so, the studies describe what tends to happen across groups of people; they don't promise a particular result for you. What you get out of the tool depends on your situation and what you do with it.

Accuracy

We try to keep the content correct and up to date, but we don't guarantee it. The articles simplify complex research to make it readable, the science moves on, and mistakes are possible. Treat what you read as a starting point, not the final word.

Other sites

Where we link to or refer to other sources, we're not responsible for their content or accuracy. A link isn't an endorsement.

Your decisions are your own

How you use the workbook, and what you decide to do as a result, is up to you. You're responsible for those choices. For the full terms covering the limits of our responsibility, see the Terms of Use.
