No social media apps on the phone
I got myself a phone and only installed essentials/utility apps (banking, camera, maps...)
Wrote about it on https://www.lifelog.be/can-i-get-rid-of-my-phone
If you're on android try to use different users. For example in the main profile you could install only "must have" apps and others in other profile so it will be a little harder to have access and you won't open the app without a purpose.
Turn off the majority of notifications because they're the first way to get your attention
What works best for me is turning of notifications and telling myself whenever I pick up my phone what Iβll do with it, and then try to stick to that. Itβs a great challenge.
I get a weekly report from my phone using "Digital wellbeing" if I go over a 2hrs a day the day turns from red to green. Every sudnay I show my weekly report to my 5 year old. This helps me.
