You’ve done the work.

You’ve read Atomic Habits, The 5AM Club, Deep Work, The ONE Thing, Eat That Frog, Getting Things Done, and a dozen others with motivational titles and clever acronyms.

You’ve highlighted passages.
You’ve bookmarked strategies.
You’ve nodded along thinking, “This is it. This is the one.”

But here you are—still spinning your wheels.

Still working too many hours.
Still forgetting things.
Still battling with focus, energy, and overwhelm.
Still thinking, “Why the hell can’t I stick to any of this?”

If that sounds familiar, I get it.

Because I’ve been you.

The Problem with Productivity Books

Most productivity books are full of:

• Great ideas
• Useful frameworks
• Inspiring stories
• Promises of transformation

But they rarely give you one crucial thing:

A system you can actually stick to in the chaos of real life.

They’re written in ideal-world conditions.
They assume you have:

• A clean schedule
• Boundless motivation
• No team to manage, kids to raise, or fires to fight
• The same energy every single day
• The headspace to implement a 12-step plan consistently forever

And when you can’t make it work?

They don’t offer re-entry points.
They don’t offer forgiveness.
They don’t offer real life flexibility.

They offer theory.

DROP offers traction.

This Book Wasn’t Written in a Lab. It Was Forged in the Fire.

Control Your Time or Stay Stuck: You Choose isn’t just another productivity book.

It’s not based on abstract theory.
It wasn’t built in a quiet study with unlimited time and no distractions.
It wasn’t dreamt up by someone living off affiliate links and speaking gigs.

It was written by someone who:

• Burned out repeatedly
• Worked 65+ hours a week as a Managing Director
• Woke up every night at 2am with “Oh Shit” moments
• Got bullied for trying to take paternity leave
• Was replaced in his own role while still training the person who took it
• Stayed far longer than he should have—because he genuinely believed a seven-figure payout was coming
• Walked away with nothing—but rebuilt everything from the ground up

I didn’t need another book.
I needed a system that worked in the real world.

DROP is that system.

DROP Isn’t a Framework You Learn. It’s a Rhythm You Live.

DROP is built on four weekly steps:

1. Dump – Get everything out of your head
2. Review – Make sense of what actually matters
3. Offload – Let go of what’s not yours to carry
4. Plan – Build a week around your energy, priorities, and real life

It’s not a one-time motivational hit.
It’s a repeatable rhythm that fits into your reality—however messy that is.

And it doesn’t matter if:

• You miss a week
• Your routine changes
• You fall off the wagon
• You don’t feel like a “systems person”

DROP meets you where you are.
And then it moves with you.

Why This Book Hits Different

It doesn’t preach from a pedestal.
It speaks from experience.

It’s grounded.
It’s relatable.
It’s brutally honest.

It acknowledges the chaos.
It calls out the toxic productivity bullshit.
And it shows you how to stop running in circles—without pretending life is some perfect morning routine.

Most books give you inspiration.

This one gives you implementation.

You Don’t Need More Knowledge. You Need a System That Sticks.

Let’s be real:

• You already know what deep work is
• You understand time blocking
• You’ve seen the Eisenhower Matrix
• You’ve heard the 80/20 rule
• You’ve tried batching, prioritising, eating frogs, and gamifying your to-do list

You don’t need another method to memorise.

You need a system that brings it all together.

That’s DROP.

It doesn’t replace what you know.
It anchors it.
It helps you actually use what those books taught you—in a way that fits your brain, your business, and your bandwidth.

You Don’t Need Another Breakthrough. You Need to Break the Cycle.

If you’re still stuck, it’s not because you haven’t learned enough.

It’s because nothing you’ve learned has been built into a rhythm.

That’s what DROP gives you:

• A weekly process that resets you
• A structure that doesn’t stifle you
• A clear, repeatable way to regain control of your time—every damn week

No more overwhelm.
No more shame.
No more abandoned planners and broken promises to yourself.

Just a grounded system that actually fits your life.

Ready to Make This the Last Productivity Book You Ever Need?

You’ve read the books.

Now it’s time to build the system.

Because knowledge without action is just another weight on your shoulders.

And DROP is how you finally let that weight go.
