In my experience turning off my phone solves the temptation to check it. The friction of having to turn on my phone is small but apparently enough.

Some smaller doses of friction include not putting icons of entertaining apps on home screen or removing such apps entirely and e.g. using a browser if you need a particular service. Making sure unlock requires entering a (long) code. Making the colour scheme dull, maybe B&W mode. Removing notification permissions as much as possible. Turning off notifications on lock screen.
