Here's What It Cost Me","description":"Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. 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.   In this episode, I get real about something a lot of high performers aren\u2019t saying out loud: AI isn\u2019t just a tool, it can become a full-blown dopamine trap. If you\u2019ve ever felt behind, obsessed with optimizing, or quietly burning out while \u201cbeing productive,\u201d this conversation will hit home. By the end, you\u2019ll walk away with a grounded, practical way to use AI without letting it take over your time, energy, and priorities.   \ud83c\udfaf In this episode, I riff on:      \u21a0 My honest confession: becoming addicted to AI and how it started creeping into my daily life      \u21a0 Why AI is especially intoxicating for high-achievers and ADHD brains      \u21a0 The dopamine loop of building, optimizing, and constantly creating      \u21a0 How \u201cproductive\u201d AI use can quietly replace real-life presence and relationships      \u21a0 The emotional rollercoaster of learning new AI tools (excitement \u2192 overwhelm \u2192 frustration \u2192 obsession)      \u21a0 FOMO and imposter syndrome in enterprise sales when it comes to AI adoption      \u21a0 The difference between passive action (building, planning) vs. massive action (shipping, executing)      \u21a0 A surprising study: AI increases output but also increases total work and burnout risk      \u21a0 The productivity \u201csweet spot\u201d: why ~1 hour of AI per day outperforms overuse           \u21a0 How overusing AI drains your dopamine and impacts your energy outside of work      \u21a0 Recognizing unhealthy patterns: time blindness, sneaking in work, mental preoccupation      \u21a0 Aligning your behavior with your values (career success vs. family presence)      \u21a0 Why boundaries with AI are now just as important as boundaries with social media      \u21a0 Questions to self-audit your AI usage and reclaim control      \u21a0 Shifting from constant building to intentional, outcome-driven execution   PS.
