How will my phone screentime vary ? (Resolves to variation rate + .5)

82%

I’m currently trying to halve the time I spend on social media (see specifics in embed market)

On Monday (note : I live in UTC+1), March 18th, I will compute the variation rate of my phone screentime defined as X = (new - old)/old

Where past is my daily average over [Feb 5, March 3] and new is my daily average over [March 4, March 17]

This market resolves to probability = X + 1/2. For example, if new = past, then X = 0 and this resolves PROB = 1/2 = 50%.

If needed, I will round to the nearest % (ie 69.9% resolves 70%)

In the event X >= 1/2 or X <= -1/2, this resolves YES or NO respectively.

I will not be betting on this market.

Edit : data is collected through the default iOs Screen Time feature, and old = 115,46 minutes per day (week by week screenshots in embed market)

Edit : to make this more intuitive, here's a little time - associated outcome table

Get
Ṁ1,000
and
S1.00
Sort by:

Total screen time on phone for the past to weeks is 15h55 + 19h42 = 35h37 = 2137 minutes over 14 days, so 152,64 minutes per day.

Therefore X = 0,322 so, rounding up to closest % point, this resolves 82%.
