What helps is building awareness of your attention/desire traps and consciously manipulating the system that is you to optimize it. That can take the form of depriving yourself of things you "want" (looking at screens is real common) to let yourself get bored to seek out that attention fix somewhere else, it could take the form of creating a regular reminder with a calendar app, it could take the form of convincing someone else to keep you social... you don't have to be a slave to your built-in drives, they're often really stupid and too easily satisfied.
