The best thing you can do is FULLY TURN OFF notifications from any social media app (twitter, facebook, instagram, etc).
Anything that would result in a requirement to swipe down from the top of the screen on android and look at a notification/popup and either slide it away to dismiss it or click on it.
It's easy to do in android or ios.
You should only see content when you specifically choose to open the app.
This is by no means a complete solution but goes a long way to reducing the compulsion to check things every 5 minutes.

- jeffbee 4y agoRight? You'd be nuts to have the bird app on your mobile. It works perfectly in the browser, and when you close it, it's dead and gone! Can't use any battery at all! Gmail is the same way. Gmail for mobile web is a phenomenally good web app, and completely incapable of notifying you of anything whatsoever.
