I need to start working on this, and what i've found is that deleting the distractions is very helpful. I also recently started using a minimalist launcher, Before, that filters notifications (only shows me ones from my text messages and phone calls, and you can edit that), and only shows a handful of apps. There's no search functionality, so it discourages me from opening something that might be distracting. I also like TUI for the same reason.
Ultimately, games are a distraction. Yes, you can limit when you play them, but I also found that it's not just a minute here or there, but ends up taking away time you wanted to do something else (even if that's 10 minutes, we have all been in scenarios where that 10 minutes is the difference between doing something productive, and trying to waste 5 minutes before needing to be somewhere else.
the new Focus mode on android is also really good for the same reason, although I wish they made it so that once you turned it on it wouldn't turn off until x amount of time has passed.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
