I use olauncher which has a super minimalist home screen. It doesn't block apps but it doesn't use icons. Instead you type the name of the app you want which I find makes me more purposeful with my phone usage. Turning off notifications for virtually every app also helps. If it's truly important I'll check it. Otherwise it's something I can look at once a day/week/month depending on the app.

I like this approach but it was a bit much for me. Especially no icons - a lot of apps do those automated translations which results in weird names. I have several ones that are called the same due this reason. It annoys me that I can't find them.

Went with Niagara launcher. It is somewhat limiting sometimes, but truth is that I could setup most important things easily. It doesn't really let you do multiscreen homepages so I stopped using many apps. And I am grateful for that.
