I had the same issue. Being able to recognise it's a problem is already a big achievement, acting on it only follows naturally once you've realised how much time you waste.
For social networks, I blocked them at the DNS level in /etc/hosts (along with other annoyances) [1].
I've had the muscle memory to CMD+T , 'F', Enter for a few weeks after quitting cold turkey, but seeing the "Could not connect to host" message on the browser reminded me of why I did that.
A few months down the line, I don't regret my choice. Sure it's harder to keep up with friends, but it's a small step in making them realise what a social hazard those platforms are.

I suppose this means I might have bigger problems if I recognise how much of a waste of time it is but don't feel massively compelled to change behaviour.
