I am currently unemployed and trying to change my lifestyle to be less depressing.

Every time I feel overwhelmed I tend to crawl into bed and spend time on social media etc., so this could be quite a lot. For tracking purposes i've installed this app: https://github.com/markusfisch/ScreenTime

Resolution criteria:

  • The number that my screen time monitoring app shows will be rounded to the nearest full integer of hours...

  • ...on Monday 11:00 am (UTC+1).

Market conditions:

  • The options are in [..)-Brackets, meaning "10-15 hours" includes 10 hours but not 15.

  • I'll try to post a screenshot of my app every day, to keep me engaged and you updated.

  • I will not trade in this market.

Context:

I am trying to establish a baseline on my media consumption. That is also the reason why I don't trade here. Next step would be to get myself to read more.

Resolution:

A whopping 58 hours. I knew I do a lot of stuff on the phone but I didn't think it would be this much. I'll try to cut that down a bit:

If i'd go by strictly by the rules i'd have to wait for another 35 minutes to resolve this market, but I am going to take a shower and then be on my way, so I'll resolve this now.

  • “The number that my screen time monitoring app shows will be rounded to the nearest full integer of hours...“

    Just to be sure : “the number” is the time for the whole week and you round that one to the nearest integer ?

@Mich jep. For the whole week

My god... I don't know what to say.

Oh wow... That is quite a bit more than i thought.

3 hours. Wow... And that is only half the day. I installed the app around 11:30...

« I am trying to establish a baseline on my media consumption. »

Does this mean you’ll try to behave « as usual » this week and will not aim for reduction yet ?

@Mich Exactly. Sorry if this was a confusing choice of words.

@Schwabilismus This was clear I just wanted to be sure ^^

Nice market idea, I have a motivational doomscrolling-related motivational market but I didn’t think of making a market for the baseline

Okay, screenshot and app works. I haven't decided when exactly to post these. Maybe I will if this market catches on.

@Schwabilismus aaargh typo in the title. I had the German keyboard on... Shame on me.

bought Ṁ19 NO

@Schwabilismus Summoned me lmao

@Mich Lol
