The DROP System isn’t something you dip into once and forget about.
It’s not a “tick the box” productivity hack.
It’s not a planner you buy, fill out once, and then leave to gather dust.
And it’s definitely not another time management gimmick that makes you feel worse when you can’t keep up with it.
It’s a weekly rhythm — simple, powerful, flexible — that gives you control when everything else feels out of control.
But that only happens when you make it part of your week.
So if you’re wondering how to build it into your life consistently — not perfectly, but reliably — this blog will show you the exact steps.
Let’s go.
First — Let’s Get One Thing Straight
You don’t have to “live and breathe” DROP to make it work.
This isn’t a religion.
It’s not dogma.
It’s a rhythm — and it works best when it’s simple and sustainable.
You just need one hour a week.
One hour to:
- Dump everything in your head
- Review what matters
- Offload what you don’t need to carry
- Plan your next week with clarity and calm
That’s it.
Step 1: Choose a Weekly Time Slot (and Stick to It)
Don’t leave it to chance.
If your DROP session isn’t in the diary, it won’t happen.
Pick a recurring time slot that feels realistic, not idealistic.
Some popular options:
- Sunday evening after dinner
- Monday morning before emails hit
- Friday afternoon to close the week clean
- Saturday morning with a coffee while the house is quiet
Lock it in.
Set a calendar reminder.
Make it sacred.
If something tries to steal that time — ask yourself what’s more important: reacting to the world, or regaining control of it?
Step 2: Create a Weekly Ritual Around It
The more sensory and repeatable your session is, the more likely it’ll stick.
Make it something you look forward to:
- Brew a coffee or tea
- Put on a playlist you only use for DROP
- Sit in a specific spot — kitchen table, home office, favourite chair
- Light a candle or set a 60-minute timer to keep it focused
This turns your DROP session into an anchor, not a chore.
The goal is consistency, not intensity.
Step 3: Keep Your Tools Simple and Visible
Whether you use the DROP System planner from the training, your own notebook, or a digital tool — keep it easy to access and always in sight.
Avoid overcomplicating it.
You don’t need colour codes, fancy stickers, or an app that syncs with seventeen other platforms.
You just need:
- A place to brain dump
- A space to review your week
- Somewhere to offload/delegate tasks
- A way to clearly set and see your Top 3 priorities
That’s it.
The simpler the tool, the more likely you are to use it weekly.
Step 4: Set Up Your Habit Hook
One of the easiest ways to build the habit is to hook it onto something you already do.
Example:
- After Sunday dinner = DROP time
- Before your weekly team meeting = DROP time
- Every Monday morning after the school run = DROP time
Habit hooks work because your brain doesn’t have to make a decision each time. The trigger already exists.
Attach DROP to a reliable event in your week, and it becomes automatic.
Step 5: Don’t Miss Twice
You will miss a week.
That’s life.
But don’t miss two.
One miss is life happening.
Two misses is the start of a new habit — the one where you don’t show up.
So if you skip a session, forgive yourself quickly.
Then reset. Show up next time. Dump. Review. Offload. Plan.
That’s how you keep the rhythm alive without perfectionism getting in the way.
Step 6: Use Your Calendar and Alarms
Don’t rely on memory.
Set calendar events. Add alarms. Use sticky notes.
Leave your planner open on your desk or kitchen table.
Whatever makes the system visible, do it.
Because what you don’t see, you forget.
And what you forget, you don’t do.
This isn’t about self-discipline. It’s about smart reminders.
Step 7: Track What Changes When You DO It
This is key.
Each time you finish a week using DROP, take 60 seconds to reflect:
- What felt easier this week?
- What didn’t spiral out of control?
- What actually got finished?
- What didn’t make it onto the list that would’ve in the past?
These micro-reflections fuel the habit.
They remind you why it’s worth doing — even when you don’t feel like it.
And that creates momentum.
Step 8: Share It With Someone Else
Want next-level consistency?
Get someone else involved.
- Partner
- Friend
- Business coach
- Accountability group
- WhatsApp buddy
Even just saying “I’m doing my DROP session now” out loud increases your likelihood of following through.
Better still — do it together once a week, even for just 10 minutes. Share your Top 3. Talk about what you’re dropping or offloading. Keep it light — but structured.
Humans stick to systems better when they’re witnessed.
Step 9: Don’t Try to Be Perfect — Just Be Consistent
There will be weeks where it’s messy.
You won’t finish your Top 3. You’ll get distracted.
Something will throw your whole plan off course.
That doesn’t mean the system failed.
It means it caught you before things collapsed completely.
DROP gives you the structure to reset.
And next week, you just do it again.
One hour. One reset. One step closer to the life you actually want to live.
