You either have to accept that you like watching shorts more than doing other things and watch them without worrying or change your habits. There's no magical way where you just stop doing it. I will take some effort.
The change in habit unfortunately is just not opening YouTube on my phone, which is a shame because there are good videos that I feel good after watching but I can't resist getting drawn in by shorts.
Typically I don't get that problem on PC or on a smart TV because they push long form content more there
