Resolve the number of hours in this spreadsheet.

Manifold can be fun, but also addictive.

I joined Manifold in April. In April and May, I spent about 1.2 hours / day on Manifold. For June, I wanted to promote to Masters, which felt like an impossible challenge. I spent close to an average of 3 hours / day. It took a lot of energy, and distracted me from other projects. 

For this month, my goal is to:

  • Reduce my average time below 1.5 hours / day

  • While not being demoted from Masters

  • Make it top 100 in profit and creator dashboard

I will use this spreadsheet to track my usage daily. I will use rescuetime for computer usage and Apple's Screen Time for mobile usage. So this includes:

  • Time spent on the manifold.markets and on the manifold app

  • Includes time trading, making markets, etc

  • Includes all ALT trading

This doesn't include

  • Time researching, strategizing, thinking about Manifold

  • Time on discord / talking with people about Manifold

I will have daily markets "Will I spend X time on Manifold on Y". You can estimate my usage through my activity on my page here

I will only bet towards my goals, and may take final liquidity. I will also give prizes for those who have the highest profits in this leaderboard.

@PC Thanks for all the participation :)

@PC congrats on making the goal :D

@Jordinne You all have been paid :)

Wow - I wasn't paying attention on the last day. Almost went over. 1.498 hours :)

Hmm technically rounds to 1.50, but that would be against the point of the challenge

@PC Hmm wasn't expecting this issue. @nickten - thoughts on resolving 1.25 - 1.49?

@PC I think the intent is clear from the spacing in the options. it's up to the limit of 1.5 without hitting 1.5. you can't be expected to write 1.499999999999999
