As devs we could create an app that sets a timer for social media use and then shocks you with a mild electric shock every time you exceed your set limit!

We'll call it the Zapchat or the Zapper and we guarantee it'll be SHOCKING how effective it is at keep us from looking at our screens every 5 min

That already exists. https://shop.pavlok.com/pages/pavlok-homepage/

You can combine it with a service like Beeminder to both shock you and part you with your money to make sure all the motivation centers are hit. :)
