My screen time is usually 8 hours (every devices combined). But in Weekends it goes to 14-16 hours, just double. I'm giving all my efforts but they go all in vain when some notification hits and I don't remember that I've already spended 15 minutes just scrolling some crap.
This is absolutely correct.
I'm still not giving up I'll try my best.
I understand what you're saying. Do you ever have 5 minutes without your phone and you immediately check it wanting to have a notification from any app? Like a desire that you can't control? I suggest you start with small steps.

Correct. It feels like I need to look up for some messages, emails, important updates and more.

Yes, I have had those impulses. Years ago when we used blackberries, I had one that every time a notification came in, a little red light in the corner would turn on and blink. I remember that I was always checking to see if that light was on. If I was watching a movie, I would constantly look at my phone to see if that light was on. To start a change that will benefit you, you must recognize the moments in which you are using your cell phone or phone out of boredom or anxiety and not because it is really necessary. When you detect that, you should do something else, something simple, to start with.
