on android, you can set your phone to grayscale (night time mode). This helps with the fact that the bright colors subconsciously lure you in

^ This.

Especially Samsung have built-in some excellent tools for helping managing screen time.

Myself I am terrible with Twitter/Reddit and can easily waste hours there, but my S10 locks the apps after 45m usage per day.

iPhones also have a greyscale mode under accessibility:

Settings, then choose Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Color Filters. Turn the Color Filters toggle switch on, and Grayscale appears as the top option
