Here are some tools and tips for getting rid of distractions. Will update it soon.

Use News Feed Eradicator to hide the newsfeed and add an extra step to get to the news feed every time you want to check it.

Use FB Purity to hide the Messenger icon (I use a separate app called Messenger for PC to communicate) and any other stuff you want to hide. This will reduce the amount of temptations you have while working on Facebook. Disabling all unnecessary notifications is a part of it.
Use DFTube to hide the newsfeed and sidebar recommendations on YouTube. Only check your specific subscriptions that add value to your business/life and use the search function.
Use History Blocker by Site to remove social media sites and other problematic websites from your browser history, so you need to spend more time on typing. Gives you extra time to become aware of your automatic behavior. Also in Chrome settings, go to Appearance and tick off Autocomplete for the top sites. Also remove any related bookmarks.
Use Cold Turkey Blocker or something similar to schedule your time on these platforms or disable problematic websites completely. You can even block something for the whole week so that you can't undo this.
If you use Instagram and you find yourself more productive on PC, you can use Instagram on PC and delete the app from your phone.
Disable all notifications on your phone. Keep the WiFi/4G off when you are not using it.
Delay regular scrolling until afternoon or when your most important work is done. If lacking willpower to do this, Cold Turkey Blocker or similar apps are always there for you until the habit has been changed and there is no need to strict yourself so much.
I also use Toggle when doing my work tasks. Starting that timer usually keeps me more focused.

What helps you to eliminate distractions? :)
