I used to waste a lot of time (I still do, but less and in a more functional way) sounds cliche, but something that helped me a lot was the book atomic habits, focusing on systems rather than in pure force of will.
Related to this point, it's to make it harder to access your bad habits and easier to access the ones you want to develop.
A DNS blocker it's great for things like this. I even have 2 dual booted systems one with custom DNS restrictions, and another one for play and relax.
I don't think YouTube, games or Netflix it's bad. The key part it's intentionality, schedule and self awareness of why are you doing the thing your doing, and don't fall into autopilot
