Regarding the issue of opening Reddit, Hackernews, and Youtube compulsively, I’ve found adding a short delay to the loading of sites like these incredibly effective in eliminating the urge to go on them except for highly valuable reasons altogether. I use the extention Crackbook revival for it and wrote about it more here https://gingerjumble.wordpress.com/2020/12/05/how-to-stop-compulsively-checking-messaging-sites/
Clever! I feel your short-delay trick is similar to switching to grayscale on your phone: both ideas increase friction on “bad” habits. I’ll give Crackbook Revival a try 👍
