I am trying at the moment to use a pop-up which suggests different acivities. First when opening an app and then every 15 minutes or so. Works somewhat, I read a few pages because of that, but kinda annyoing when I want to use the app and sink my time in. I try to aim it at my resolve, with texts that help me answer the question "do I really want to do that or am I just doing it because it's convenient"
Also sometimes going for 100% blocking everything just has a bad yoyo effect, maybe try more of reducing it/ replacing the time spend and allow yourself at a designated time frame to use these attention traps or something idk.
