There's an app on the Google Play Store called "Stay Focused" that allows you to set time limits for individual apps and block the app for the remainder of the day once the time limit is reached.

While I could go through the effort of subverting it, I've found that it has been effective in limiting my usage of distracting apps like Facebook or Reddit. A lot of times, I will instinctively click the app icon when I get on my phone, and the "Access Denied" splash screen it displays after the time limit is up helps me stay aware of my aimless browsing habits and encourages me to do something more productive.

If you can maintain discipline and not disable the app after a time limit has been reached, it can help to deter compulsive news feed consumption and other distracting activities.
