I you don't want to/can't go cold turkey (like me) : You can achieve about 80-90% of what the author says by removing social media app and disabling WhatsApp notifications. Depending on the OS, you might be able to have "scheduled" notifications, too. I've been trying the former and I see quite a big difference in how I use my mobile :). End of the day, I realised that it is a tool which you can either control or get controlled by without meaning to.

What do you mean with scheduled notifications? Notifications that fire in batches every X hours? What OS allows that?

I haven't had an iPhone in a long time but you used to be able to.
