For people who struggle: a first step is to turn off all notifications.

This doesn't work in the beginning but I noticed that over time this is giving more and more rest and makes you rething social media usage.

For me I found this made me check them more, as I would be thinking "well maybe someone has sent me a message since I last checked" and it might be true. It's a tricky one! I found uninstalling the apps and logging out on the web after each session helps a bit, as then there is some friction in having to check what's going on since I have to log in every time.
