Even the best screen time apps can’t stop me from scrolling Reels… What actually works?

No matter what I do, I keep scrolling Instagram Reels when I need to work. Even when I set app limits or use focus apps, I just bypass them and keep watching.
I tried Opal, but it’s way too expensive. I tried Forest, but I don’t care about growing a tree—I just end up ignoring it. And Screen Time? It’s too easy to disable. Nothing seems to actually stop me from mindlessly picking up my phone and scrolling.
The worst part is, Reels are fun—it’s not like I hate them. But when I really need to focus, I wish there was a way to just stop myself without feeling like I’m fighting my own brain.
Has anyone actually found a method that works? Like, something that makes you genuinely not want to scroll rather than just blocking the app?
I feel like I need to rewire how my brain sees distractions, but I don’t know how. If you’ve managed to stop this habit, I’d love to know what worked for you.
