How To Plan Out Your Year Without Having To Fix Yourself

Amber Deibert

January 26, 2026

If the pressure of New Year’s resolutions is already dragging you down, this episode is your permission slip to ditch the hype. 

I’m walking you through how to plan your year in a way that actually sticks, based on your rhythms, not someone else's checklist.

By the end, you’ll have a vision-driven, compassionate approach to productivity that energizes instead of overwhelms.

🎯 In this episode, I riff on:

↠ Why New Year's resolutions don’t work for most high performers

↠ How to recognize your natural renewal cycles and plan accordingly

↠ The one visualization technique I teach every client before setting goals

↠ How to “trick” your brain into chasing your future reality

↠ A simple planning structure that works with your energy, not against it

↠ Morning vs. evening planning: test both and tailor to your workflow

↠ The secret power of doing small, consistent favors for your future self

↠ Why achieving more doesn’t always fix the inner pressure you feel

↠ How to shift from fixing yourself to supporting yourself

↠ Building spaciousness into your year without sacrificing success

Amber Deibert...

Hi, I’m Amber, the go-to performance coach for enterprise tech sellers looking to ditch mindset trash, streamline their workday, and get more done with less friction. 

I’ve been coaching full-time for over 6 years, and with hundreds of sellers (1000+ sessions and counting!) under my belt. 

I know what it takes to help high performers reach new heights—and still have time to be present with your family + personal life.


I spent years in tech, myself. In roles like Learning & Development, Leadership, Sales Enablement, and System Administration. 


I know what it’s like to manage a mile-long to-do list and the pressure of being a top performer at a rocketship startup. 


I’ve also been where my clients are: overwhelmed, unsure of myself, and thinking everyone around me was naturally more confident and driven. 


But here's the thing—confidence isn’t about being born with it. It’s about having the right mindset and habits to back yourself up. 


That’s where I come in.
