If you’ve spent five minutes on my content — whether it’s a blog, a video, a workshop, or the book — you’ve probably noticed something:
I don’t sugar-coat things.
I’ll call out the excuses.
I’ll say the thing most people are thinking but too polite to say.
And sometimes, yes — I’ll swear.
Not to shock. Not to offend. But because sometimes, polite language just doesn’t cut through the noise.
And when you’re drowning in stress, stuck in a cycle of overwork, and spiralling through another “just one more week of chaos”…
What you need isn’t a motivational quote in cursive font.
You need someone to tell you the truth.
Even if it stings a little.
This blog is about why I use blunt, real-world language in my content — and how it’s become a key part of why the DROP System actually gets results.
THE PROBLEM WITH POLITE PRODUCTIVITY ADVICE
Let’s start with what most productivity content sounds like.
It’s all:
- “Try to focus on what matters most.”
- “Remember to be kind to yourself.”
- “Just take 15 minutes a day to plan.”
- “Make self-care a priority.”
It’s soft. Vague. Vanilla.
It’s the kind of advice that makes you feel seen for half a second…
But then leaves you right where you were: stuck, overwhelmed, and frustrated with yourself for not doing better.
Because you already know you should focus.
You already know planning helps.
You already know you need to take care of yourself.
What you need is something that finally cuts through the noise in your head.
The noise that says:
- “I don’t have time.”
- “I’ll do it later.”
- “It’s just a busy period.”
- “I need to be all things to all people.”
- “I’m failing and it’s my fault.”
Blunt language works because it gets underneath the surface-level stories.
It doesn’t let you hide behind polite lies.
BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO HEAR IT STRAIGHT
Here’s the truth:
You’ve read enough books.
Listened to enough podcasts.
Tried enough planners.
Downloaded enough freebies.
The problem isn’t information.
The problem is implementation.
And a big reason people don’t implement is because nobody’s ever spoken to them plainly enough to break the cycle.
Nobody’s said:
- “You’re not bad at time management — you’re carrying too much.”
- “That to-do list you’ve got? Half of it doesn’t matter.”
- “You’re not lazy — you’re overwhelmed and exhausted.”
- “This isn’t about planning more. It’s about finally stopping the madness.”
Sometimes you need someone to throw a bucket of cold water over the excuses.
Not because they don’t care — but because they care too much to lie.
That’s what I do.
And yes, sometimes that means being blunt.
BUT IT’S NEVER ABOUT BEING A DICK
Let’s be really clear about one thing:
This isn’t about ego.
It’s not about being “edgy for the sake of it.”
And it’s definitely not about tearing people down.
I’m not here to shout at people.
I’m here to stand beside them, point at the chaos, and say:
“Enough. You deserve better than this.”
The bluntness isn’t cruelty.
It’s clarity.
It’s the thing that finally helps someone see their situation for what it really is — and do something about it.
Because polite advice might make you feel better.
But honest advice gets you moving.
REAL WORDS FOR REAL PEOPLE
Let’s talk about who I write for.
Not executives in glass offices.
Not productivity influencers with perfect routines.
Not theory-driven academics testing models in labs.
I write for:
- The dad working late and missing bedtime
- The mum juggling work, dinner, homework, and guilt
- The founder who hasn’t had a proper night’s sleep in 6 months
- The burnt-out leader who feels like everyone else’s rock but can’t find their own
- The neurodiverse adult who’s been told their whole life they’re “bad at organisation”
These people aren’t looking for Pinterest quotes.
They’re looking for a lifeline.
And when you’re drowning, you don’t want someone gently describing the water.
You want someone who throws you a rope — and tells you to grab it now before you sink.
DROPPING THE GURU BULLSHIT
The self-help space is full of bullshit.
You’ve got:
- Coaches who sell dream lifestyles but can’t back it up
- Influencers who post routines that would collapse if they had kids or real jobs
- Productivity systems that look amazing but fall apart under pressure
- Cult-like communities where you’re punished for having a bad week
I’m not here for any of that.
The DROP System was built in the trenches.
It was tested through chaos, kids, crisis, burnout, debt, and rebuilding.
It’s not perfect. Neither am I.
But it’s real — and it works.
And if I need to drop an f-bomb to get someone to stop killing themselves for a to-do list that’s 90% bullshit?
I’ll do it.
YOU DON’T NEED FLUFF — YOU NEED A RESET
Let me give you an example.
Imagine you’re working 60+ hours a week.
You’re constantly saying yes.
You’ve forgotten what it feels like to breathe.
You’re snapping at your partner. Missing your kids’ moments.
And every night, you lie in bed scrolling for an answer while hating yourself for not fixing it.
Now picture two types of content landing in front of you.
Option 1:
“Be kind to yourself. You’ve got this. Just remember to prioritise self-care and plan ahead!”
Option 2:
“You’re drowning. And no planner in the world is going to save you unless you stop trying to do everything. It’s time to get ruthless. Dump everything out. Offload what you can. Choose your Top 3. Protect your time like it f***ing matters — because it does.”
Which one wakes you up?
Which one cuts through the noise?
That’s why I write the way I do.
IT’S NOT FOR EVERYONE — AND THAT’S OKAY
Let’s be honest — not everyone likes blunt language.
That’s fine.
If you want gentle affirmations, pastel graphics, or quiet encouragement without confrontation… there are a million voices out there for you.
But if you want someone who:
- Sees through the bullshit
- Won’t let you play small
- Will challenge you when you’re stuck
- Will call you out with love, not judgment
- Will speak to you like an equal, not a client
Then you’re in the right place.
Because the world doesn’t need another polite productivity guru.
It needs more people telling the truth — and helping you change your life without pretending it’s easy.
THE DROP REVOLUTION IS BUILT ON HONESTY
This system is called DROP for a reason:
Dump. Review. Offload. Plan.
And that very first step — dumping your brain — only works if you’re willing to get raw.
No filters.
No fluff.
Just everything out in the open.
And that’s what this content does too.
It mirrors the process.
We don’t dress it up.
We don’t hide from hard truths.
We just lay it out and help you deal with it — one week at a time.
Because this isn’t a course.
It’s a revolution.
And real revolutions aren’t polite.
