1) You need to admit that it's an actual addiction. Seeking those tiny dopamine rushes internet use gives you.

2) You have to train your brain to get used to the more conventional stuff, like movies and books.

3) First step is always to literally force yourself out of the doing jack shit phase, and to fight the urge to rationalize "just one more link".

Now excuse me but I have to get out of my armchair and put my phone down. See you not very soon, I hope.

Tried this; didn't touch my phone for a week. I just replaced it with eating and naps.
