This is a good post and congratulations for having the insight that perhaps you should cut down on some of the social media time, specially at your age.

I always keep my mac, phone and watch on a permanent do not disturb mode the only thing I allow is calls and text messages because I barely get any calls and only get text messages from people that are important to me.

When I forget to activate the do not disturb mode on my mac (usually after i reboot the machine) I tend to spend much more time doing meaningless tasks due to the notifications - funny enough I can't stand them and after about 2 minutes i switch the dnd mode back on haha

Check out Self Control if you need to do some research online for assignments but keep distracting websites away! I used this a ton when a project deadline or exam was coming up.
