Welcome to The Achievers Podcast.

I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach and creator of Physical Productivity. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success.

I was cleaning off my desk to make room for a new one, and I found a graveyard of planners. Every single one I bought was me deciding the last planner was the problem. So when the system doesn't stick, you assume the problem is you.

In this episode, I unpack Physical Productivity through planning: your body already has a blueprint for how you plan best, and it maps to one of six energy types from my Work Like You Workout® framework. Find your type, and you'll know exactly how to plan and which planners to stop buying.

🎯 In this episode, I riff on:

  • Why you don't need a new planner; you need the plan that matches your wiring

  • Physical Productivity: your body already has a blueprint for how you plan best

  • The Marathoner (endurance): do all the upfront planning, then execute in deep work

  • The Sprinter (high-intensity): skip the master plan, keep a $2 Post-it Note with the next three things

  • The Powerlifter (strength): plan a quarter at a time and theme your days

  • The Team Player: stop building your own plan, borrow a trusted expert's

  • The Solo Ace: gather everyone's ideas, then throw out the rules and make your own

  • The Cross-trainer (mix): plan variety on purpose, and start with the easiest thing to build momentum
