I've been able to more or less "conquer" my smartphone by using the nifty little app called AppBlock on Android. Since the phone is not rooted, I can make it literally impossible to use certain apps unless I wipe the phone (I think you need the paid version for that, but it's like $7). Otherwise I'd just turn off the blocker. I just block the browser and Youtube and Reddit and everything else. I rarely have a case where I really need to use a browser when away from my laptop that isn't wasting time. Now my phone is just a thing that does calls and texts and that also plays music and podcasts and has ebooks and alarms and maps. Not a source of infinite novelty. My laptop, on the other hand, is the harder one to tame, since the really problematic things are so close to the productive things, especially when coding.
