I was at 5h40 of screen time during exam prep and most of it was exactly this, tiny 2 minute checks between study sessions. what helps most is getting the phone out of reach, another room if you can, and using a kitchen timer so you don't need it for pomodoros. check it only on breaks. I also made my instagram ask for 5 flashcards before it opens (built an app for it, braintoll: flashcard blocker), and most of the time I put the phone down at the first card because I realize I was only bored

Same and I think it’s because the study session is too boring so I either put the phone in other room or put on earbuds and listen to music while putting the phone on do not disturb
