Short answer: Yes, but it’s probably not what you’re expecting. If you’re picturing some 300-page spiral-bound, overpriced “productivity system” filled with boxes you’ll never fill in and motivational quotes that do nothing for your 3 a.m. anxiety, think again. The DROP Planner is something entirely different — and that’s the whole point. Let me explain.…

Absolutely. In fact — that’s one of the biggest reasons people fall in love with DROP. It doesn’t replace your planner. It gives your planner a bloody purpose. Because let’s be honest…That expensive planner you bought? The one with the tabs, the quotes, the habit tracker, and the gratitude prompts? Yeah. It’s beautiful.But it’s probably…

Let’s cut straight to it: If you’re already using a productivity system — great. You don’t need to scrap it. DROP wasn’t built to replace what works. It was built to enhance what doesn’t. DROP is a framework, not a replacement. It’s the scaffolding that keeps everything upright — no matter what tools, tech, or…

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 —…
