You ever pick up your phone and then boom, 20 minutes is gone.

Now imagine that happening eight to 10 times a day.

That's your workout, your meal prep, your sleep, and your mental peace gone.

Today we're going to fix it, not by throwing your phone into a lake, but by turning it back into what

it was meant to be a tool. By the end of the podcast, you'll have a simple plan to use your

phone less, move more, eat better, sleep deeper, and become a producer, not just a consumer.

Let's dive in.

What is going on, guys?

Welcome back to another episode of the Eric Roberts Fitness podcast.

I hope you're having a great day thus far.

In today's episode, it may not be a calorie deficit and macronutrient and science of training podcast. But I want to talk about something that I think is going to be a trend in 2026 and beyond.

We're going to be talking about something that I think can improve your mental health.

It can improve your consistency with your fitness.

It can improve your well-being, your motivation throughout the day. And that's, you know, kind of something that we call

phone addiction, phone friction, something that I believe a lot of people struggle with,

myself included, which is why I'm actually making this podcast, because the past couple of days, I think we all tried to do this, but I've been being very mindful of how much time I'm spending on my phone, what I'm doing on my phone.

And in this episode, you are going to get a simple way to see how your phone is

potentially stealing your gains and your progress, something that I call the consumer

versus producer mindset that I believe changes everything. A practical system with three

boundaries, three swaps, and three actions you can start doing today.

And at the end, I'll kind of talk about a seven-day phone reset to break the cycle without, again,

throwing your phone into a lake. So that's what we're going to talk about. And let's dive right in.
