I set my phone display settings to black and white. It gives your brain less of a dopamine hit when you look at your phone so you won’t be as addicted to it. It works wonders for my screen time
Ask yourself directly, as a matter of reflex; “What is it I hope to get out of my phone?” when you reflexively take it out.
Also, commonly ask yourself “What would I like to do today?” Whether that’s something enjoyable for yourself, or an important task. It’s difficult to realize that while many tasks take some planning and commitment, there’s plenty of time in the day to get them done if you can work past the stress of starting.
Know about it. Then look for it in others. Make yourself disgusted by it. Look in the mirror. That probably won’t break the habit but you’ll hate yourself a little more.
Seriously though how do you break this habit?
Reddit imploded is how. I got handed an out, and I took it. Good luck to you.

A little bit at a time. Also replace it actively with some other habit.
Maybe get a kindle and read books at night. Slightly different while still keeping the same physical habit.
