About Decoded Studies

Most research never makes it into real life.

Not because it isn’t important — but because it’s buried under jargon, paywalls, or exaggerated headlines. Decoded Studies exists to fix that.

This site breaks down research papers, essays, and evidence from psychology, economics, health, and decision-making — and translates them into clear, practical ideas you can actually use.

No hype. No life-hacks. No pretending one study “proves everything.”

What You’ll Find Here

At Decoded Studies, every piece follows the same rule:

If it doesn’t change how you think or act, it’s not finished.

You’ll find:

• Plain-English explanations of studies that matter
• What the research actually says (and what it doesn’t)
• Where findings are strong, weak, or overhyped
• Practical takeaways grounded in evidence, not motivation quotes

Topics include:

• Focus, attention, and ADHD
• Money, behavior, and decision-making
• Habits, learning, and motivation
• Health, cognition, and long-term thinking

How This Is Different

Decoded Studies is not:

• A self-help brand
• A productivity hack feed
• A “science says” headline factory

Instead, it’s a translation layer — turning research into understanding, and understanding into better decisions.

Studies are treated with skepticism, context, and respect for uncertainty.
