I'm prefacing this by saying I'm not affiliated in any way, but I found it very humorous that you basically described the app One Sec (iPhone only I think) to a tee. It uses uses shortcuts to put a barrier of your choice before opening specific apps, writing down the intention being one of them. The concept is pretty great (I actually tried building something similar using shortcuts before it existed) but in the end I found that it doesn't really work for me unfortunately. When my brain decides it wants to look at something, delay isn't enough to make it reconsider. So ymmv but I think it's worth to try it out.
