    Aug 18 2025

    Do you ever feel like you’re forcing yourself into someone else’s version of productivity—like waking up at 5 a.m. or grinding through “deep work” even though it doesn’t feel natural to you?

    In this episode, performance coach Amber Deibert shares her game-changing approach: discovering your unique productivity style by looking at how you naturally expend energy—just like the way you work out. If you’ve ever struggled to stay consistent with routines that don’t fit your life, this conversation will show you a better way.

    By tuning in, you’ll learn:

    • How to identify whether you’re wired for endurance-style work or high-intensity bursts.
    • Why mismatched productivity systems lead to burnout—and how to design ones that align with your strengths.
    • Simple shifts you can make right now to get more done in less time while feeling more energized.

    Press play now to discover how to “work like you work out” and finally create a productivity rhythm that truly works for you.
