Similar here lately :)
I don't use socials apart from occasionally Mastodon (which is interestingly not addictive, thanks to the chronological/honest UX!) and Insta, which I open in the browser to check what people write me and log out from afterwards.
I also use YT in the browser, because the app is such an offensive blend of addiction patterns. Sadly Chrome for Android (willingly?) removed Chromecast support from web-based YT (...it was there years ago, iirc?)
Also, I disabled notifications for non-urgent apps, and took a redundant online/offline approach to essential things (e.g. calendar, notes and so on) to be sure I don't need to pull out my phone all the time. Nonetheless, I find myself using it a lot more than it used to be, which is quite sad
Oh those notifications! I totally forgot about them!
I use an Apple Watch for some years now (got a cheap series 0, and later a cheap series 4 which I still use)
This helped me a lot! I get the notifications, it vibrates, I take a quick look and, most of the time, just delete it because it is unnecessary. It got so annoying that I uninstalled apps and removed notifications for others lol
