Admitting it is the first step.

Pretty nice
I have to start dropping more, since it works really well on lower levels imo.

I was going to make a strategy post on how to doom drop but I guess I can ask it here instead. What's the mechanics for doing a doom drop so that your ovies keep moving? Do you press shift+u on all your overlords really quickly?

Clicking on the Overlord, hitting u, and clicking on him again will make it drop while moving (if it drops all the units before it reaches its destination of course) I don't know why you would want to press shift + u, I imagine that would queue unload and defeat the purpose.

The most reliable way is to just do that on all of them while they are moving. The other method is pressing u and clicking in the middle of your overlords but in my experience it's really hard if not impossible to ensure every single overlord will continue moving. Granted if it's a massive drop I won't bother trying to manually unload, if it's more than 5 or 6 overlords it's probably better to try to click the middle of them and if one or two stop deal with it individually.
