Everything
you need to know.

Elephant Eaters is a behavioural coaching product that turns one overwhelming goal into a sequence of small, completable steps — each represented as a physical puzzle piece. You complete a step, you remove a piece. The elephant disappears as your goal is achieved. Progress becomes visible, tangible, and impossible to ignore.

You describe your goal. Our AI coaching engine breaks it into 12–14 specific, achievable steps calibrated to your situation, energy level, age, and mobility. Every output is reviewed by a human before it reaches you.

You receive a personalised PDF with your full goal breakdown. If you want to label your pieces, you print the sticker sheet from your PDF onto standard 1″×1″ label paper — available at any office supply store or on Amazon.

It's the one coral-coloured piece with no number. On days when nothing else is possible, you take it off your elephant and do whatever brings you pleasure. It's an intentional rest point built into the system from the start.

Treat steps are recovery points built into your plan at specific positions — not rewards for performance, but intentional pauses designed to sustain momentum through harder stretches. They are personalised to what you told us brings you joy.

No. Elephant Eaters is a behavioural coaching and productivity tool. It does not provide medical advice, therapy, psychiatric treatment, or crisis intervention. Nothing on this site creates a healthcare-provider relationship.

If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, call 911 or 988.

Three options: the Physical Puzzle Kit ($38 + tax), the Personalised PDF (pay what you want, including $0), and a 1:1 Guided Session with the founder ($120 for 30 minutes).

A custom die-cut dry-erase magnetic elephant puzzle (20×25cm, 16 pieces total: 14 numbered step pieces, 1 logo piece, and 1 Cheat Block). Packed in a gift box with a double-sided instruction card and a black dry-erase marker. It ships fully assembled.

You place it on your fridge and remove pieces as you complete steps. The box has a write-on surface — if you're giving it as a gift, you can write your message directly on the box.

An AI-generated document containing your goal broken into specific steps, formatted for your puzzle pieces. You receive two files: a sticker sheet (compressed step labels sized for 1″×1″ labels, ready to print and apply directly to your physical pieces) and a steps guide (full sentences, context, and explanation). The PDF is the digital heart of the system.

The physical puzzle ships blank — the pieces have a dry-erase write-on surface. You can write your steps directly onto the pieces by hand, or use the printed sticker sheet from your PDF to label them precisely and permanently.

If you plan to use your physical kit with printed stickers — or if you already know your goal and want your steps ready before the kit arrives — order your personalised PDF at the same time. It is available at no cost (pay what you want, including $0). There is no reason to wait.

Yes. Print the sticker sheet on standard 1″×1″ label paper and apply the labels to any surface you choose to track your progress. Many people use the steps guide on its own as a written plan without the physical product at all.

If you're exploring, not sure of your goal yet, or want to start immediately — begin with the PDF.

If you know your goal and want the physical, most effective and rewarding outcome — order the kit, and request your PDF at the same time so your sticker labels are ready when it arrives.

Delivery within 48 hours is the target. Every AI output is reviewed by a human before it reaches you. It is not automated. Please allow up to 48 hours.

Home and daily living, work and career, creative and personal projects (including procrastinated paperwork), and relationships and family, wellness.

For goals outside these categories, or for goals that need more nuanced support, a 1:1 session with the founder is available.

Tell us. The system has an urgent pathway. For goals with 7 days or fewer remaining, the breakdown shifts to a maximum of 8 focused steps with no treat positions — everything moves toward what can happen today.

There is a dedicated pathway for clinicians. Select "I'm a mental health practitioner, and I want this for my clients" at intake. The triage adjusts for the provided context. The physical kit is also suitable as a tangible take-home tool for use between sessions.

Pay what you want — including nothing. The options are: $0 (you really can't right now), $5 (a coffee for the idea), $10 (this is genuinely useful), $20 (you want to support this mission), or any amount you choose. No judgment at any amount.

$38 + tax. Ships worldwide at additional cost.
