Let’s settle this once and for all. Because I get this question all the time: “What’s the best way to track my tasks with the DROP System — should I go digital or stick with paper?” And the honest answer? Use whatever you’ll actually stick with. But there’s more to it than that. The tool…

Let’s get this straight before we go any further: DROP doesn’t require apps.But if you’re going to use them — let’s make sure they actually help. Because here’s the trap:Most people fall in love with productivity apps for about three days…Then abandon them after realising it’s just another inbox in disguise. So, no — I’m…
-
Absolutely not. Let’s be clear right out of the gate: You don’t need ANY special tools, apps, or software to make DROP work. No fancy subscriptions.No all-in-one miracle platforms.No “premium tier” digital planner that costs more than your mortgage. All you really need is:A pen. A bit of paper. And 30 minutes a week. That’s…

Let’s cut straight to it: Most productivity advice out there isn’t made for you. It’s made for fictional versions of you. That’s who most mainstream productivity systems are actually for. Not you.Not me.Not real humans with kids, businesses, staff, moods, hormones, responsibilities, and curveballs flying at us 24/7. And that’s exactly why most of it…

You’ve tried the hacks.You’ve bought the planners.You’ve downloaded the apps.You’ve read the books with the snappy titles and the fake urgency. And yet…You’re still overwhelmed.You’re still chasing your tail.You’re still waking up thinking, “Why can’t I just get on top of things?” Here’s why: Most time management advice doesn’t work — because it’s not built…

Here’s a truth most productivity systems ignore — or bulldoze right over: Not everyone works the same way. Some people love lists.Some hate structure.Some think in colour-coded blocks.Some chase dopamine from deadline to deadline.Some are neurodivergent. Some are neurotypical. Some are burned out. Some are thriving. So when you’re trying to implement a team-wide way…

Here’s a bit of behind-the-scenes honesty most brands would never share: DROP is a framework.But we called it a system. Why? Because frameworks don’t sell.Systems do. Let’s unpack this — because if you’re the kind of person who needs to understand the why before you buy in, this one’s for you. Framework vs. System —…
-
Let’s do something most so-called productivity systems won’t: Tell you where it doesn’t work. Because DROP isn’t a silver bullet.It’s not magic.It’s not “one system to rule them all.” It’s a flexible, battle-tested framework that works — when you do.But it has limits. And if anyone tells you otherwise? They’re lying to sell you a…

Let’s get this out of the way early: No, not all AI tools are bullshit.But most of them?Right now?Yeah — total gimmicks. They promise to fix your calendar, write your to-do list, prioritise your life, and save you 15 hours a week with one click. And what do they actually do? AI isn’t the enemy.But…
-
Let’s get straight to it. You don’t need another app.You don’t need another subscription.You don’t need a tech stack so complicated it feels like you’re launching a rocket, not organising your life. Because here’s the truth most productivity “experts” won’t tell you: Tools don’t fix the problem.Discipline does. And when it comes to making the…
