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 for real life.
It’s built for perfect people with perfect routines, zero distractions, no kids, no team, and a calendar that bends to their will.
And unless that sounds like your life (spoiler: it doesn’t), that advice is setting you up to fail.
Productivity Porn Is Everywhere
You’ve seen it.
- The morning routines that take four hours
- The colour-coded time blocks
- The rule-of-three-of-the-rule-of-five
- The AI automation tools that promise to run your entire day with zero effort (like AI is f*cking psychic)
Looks great on TikTok. Feels good to imagine.
But try implementing that in a real business? In real life?
You’ll crash and burn within days.
These techniques aren’t bad — they’re just incomplete.
They ignore the reality that life is messy.
People get sick.
Clients change their minds.
Your kid vomits at 8:30AM.
Your brain doesn’t work the same every day.
Most time management advice fails because it expects consistency from a world that isn’t consistent.
The Dirty Secret of Most Productivity Gurus
They sell you a “proven system” — and when it doesn’t work for you?
They say you didn’t try hard enough.
But the truth is, they built it for someone just like them:
- Same energy levels
- Same brain wiring
- Same lifestyle
- Same privilege
And if you don’t fit that mould?
“Must be a discipline issue.”
“You need it more than ever.”
“You’re just not committed.”
Nah. You’re just human. And their system is built for robots.
Real People Need Real Systems — Not Rigid Rules
Here’s the truth no one wants to say:
There is no one-size-fits-all solution.
If it worked like that, you’d have nailed it already.
You don’t need another guru.
You don’t need another digital planner.
You need something built for the chaos, not in spite of it.
That’s why I built DROP.
DROP Works Because It’s a Framework — Not a Formula
DROP stands for:
- Dump
- Review
- Offload
- Plan
And it’s designed to work whether you’re:
- A solo founder
- A parent working part-time
- A leader in a large organisation
- Neurodivergent
- Burnt out
- Chronically distracted
- Or juggling all of the above
It’s not rigid.
It’s not precious.
It doesn’t care if you mess up and start again next week.
That’s what makes it different.
Why DROP Works When Other Systems Fail
1. It starts with your head, not your calendar
Most systems start with time blocks. Schedules. Routines.
DROP starts with a brain dump.
Because you can’t manage time if your brain is spinning like a hard drive about to fail.
Once you’ve dumped the mental load, you actually have the clarity to start.
2. It adapts to your life, not the other way around
Had a nightmare week?
DROP helps you reset.
Too much on your plate?
DROP shows you what to offload.
Can’t sit still for long blocks of time?
DROP doesn’t care. It just wants you to see what’s going on — and choose what to do with it.
3. It teaches rhythm, not perfection
You’re not a robot.
Your productivity will fluctuate. Your energy will dip. Life will happen.
DROP gives you a rhythm that can flex with the mess.
It helps you build habits that survive the hard weeks — not just the good ones.
4. It respects your brain and body clock
Some of you are night owls.
Some of you can barely function past 2PM (that’s me).
Some of you thrive in short sprints, others in long deep-work blocks.
DROP doesn’t care when you do it — only that you know yourself and plan accordingly.
No 5AM club required.
5. It’s built by someone who’s lived the chaos
I didn’t build DROP in a lab.
I built it at breaking point:
- Running three businesses
- Full-time dad
- Multiple board roles
- Burned out
- Stressed to hell
- Watching life pass me by
DROP wasn’t theory. It was survival.
And now? It’s the framework I use to live, build, grow — without falling apart again.
What To Do Instead of Following Crap Advice
Step 1: Call out the nonsense
If you see someone selling time freedom with a four-hour routine and 12 tools — unfollow.
If you see a kid online flogging an AI app that “changed their life” (and earns them affiliate commission)? Unfollow.
Stop confusing content with credibility.
Step 2: Track your real week
Don’t guess. Actually track:
- When you have energy
- What distracts you
- Where your time goes
- What drains you
- What gives you momentum
Self-awareness trumps any productivity hack.
Step 3: Build a system around you — not around someone else
Use DROP as your framework.
Inside the training and book, I give you every tool and technique that sits underneath Dump, Review, Offload and Plan.
There are hundreds of ways to implement DROP — and you can pick the methods that suit your brain, your schedule, your needs.
That’s why it works. That’s the secret sauce.
It’s not rigid.
It’s not hype.
It’s not about showing off.
It’s about helping you build your week, your way — so you stop wasting time on the wrong things, and start getting shit done in a way that doesn’t fry your nervous system.
