Cold Turkey is without doubt the best way to get PC screen time under control as it lets you block applications or even lock you out of your computer entirely at specified times! That one stops me working until 3am (locking my computer)!

For the phone, just switch off notifications and leave the phone out of reach, that fixes 99% of your phone problems. Oh and I have a rule of not using my phone in bed, that is something everyone should try and stop doing, that used to be my worst habit!

For TV, as far as I am aware that is just will power / finding something more interesting to do! One extreme idea I read about is to have one of those plugs that your program on and off times (for when you are on holiday to make it look like someone is in the house) and set it to switch the TV off at a certain time (by plugging the TV into it of course!) - never tried that one but if you have a big problem of binge watching it might work for you!

Those are my top tips!
