I'm using the Firefox extension leechblock for counting time spent on my laptop and the default iOS screentime function for time spent on my phone.
For this market, time spent on youtube, facebook and instagram on my laptop and time spent on instagram on my phone count. (I don't have facebook and youtube apps on my phone, and will only count time on instagram and not the default social media bucket offered by the screentime function).
Resolution : This market resolves YES if average daily counted time during the next four weeks (1 to 28 April included) using the aforementioned method is no higher than 60 minutes per day. In the event calculations yield an average of exactly 60 minutes per day, this resolves YES.
Disclaimer : For a class I attend, one professor recommended us to watch some YouTube videos that are part of the MIT open courseware. I reserve the right to watch them using Google Chrome, therefore not counting time I spend watching them, because the purpose of this market is to reduce time I spend doomscrolling, not to fail this semester.
Updates : As far as I can, I will try to post updates at least once a week.
I will only bet YES on this market, and won't sell any YES shares.

Weekly update (a bit late, may be imprecise due to LeeckBlock having counted time today while I would like to show stats for until last Sunday - but the total count at the end of the 4-week period will be precise don't worry).
9h35 + 2h05 + 3h09 + 4h31 = 19h20. Still on track by a small margin. Manifold is high, maybe the next motivational market will be abouth halving that ? But idk, get to Masters first, think later.
Weekly update : 3h11 + 2h05 = 5h16. I'm currently on track, and actually kind of surprised that I am. It just felt like I lost more time doomscrolling than this. Going to the uni library on saturday and going out with friends on sunday must have helped. The Manifold bucket is f-ing high though, and I'm not even on track to promote...
