Weekly reset systems for messy weeks, mental resets, and lower-friction routines.

Source Policy

Self Motivation covers weekly reset, habit review, mental reset, and lower-friction routine guidance. This page explains what source types we use, how they appear on the site, and where this site stops.

What we prioritize

  • Primary or official documents when a page depends on a rule, standard, product, or public statement.
  • Peer-reviewed research, reputable clinical explainers, or established institutions when a routine page touches health-adjacent evidence.
  • Reputable reporting or expert explainers for context when a primary source is not enough on its own.

How sources appear in articles

  • Claims that change the decision path should be traceable to a visible source block, citation, or clearly linked reference.
  • We narrow or remove claims when the supporting source is weak, stale, or too broad for the actual page question.
  • We do not use invented expert quotes, fabricated anecdotes, or filler references just to make a page sound more certain.

Scope boundary

Self Motivation stays on planning, review, mental reset, and routine friction reduction. If the real bottleneck is sleep, pain, low energy, panic, or another body-state issue, the page should hand off instead of turning that problem into a stricter plan.

When a page is revised or corrected

If a source changes, a route becomes stale, or a claim needs correction, the live page should be updated or the route should be demoted. Use Updates for visible changes that affect the reader path, Corrections to report an issue, and Contact if a source link or trust surface breaks.
