Identical market for sub-$250 purchases here.

I don't want to provide any details about myself here because ideally I'd like this market to be broadly applicable to others. So, in the spirit of the market, please try to avoid researching and/or doxxing me to guess about how I will resolve things. Obviously I can't control this, but I think this market will be of greater public utility if you just regard me as a "median manifold user across all domains."

In 2026, I'll plan to return to this market and resolve the 10 answers which most significantly improved my subjective quality of life as "YES." This is true whether they are things I already did before creating this market, or they are new things that I added to my life (hopefully) as a result of this market. That being said, I will plan to make a concerted effort to experiment with as many doable and cheap answers here that I can (especially if they make sense to me, seem interesting, echo previous advice I've heard, are highly valued by traders, etc.)

Additionally, for every answer I resolve "YES" that I first tried as the direct consequence of it being suggested in this market, I will award a significant (≥2000 mana) bounty to the creator of that answer.

If I have tried something but it doesn't make the "top 10" cut, I'll resolve to "NO." If I didn't even try the answer, I'll resolve to N/A.

I will not personally trade on this market.

There's some things that are important to quality of life but aren't exactly actionable decisions — for example "having a close group of friends." If people submit something like this as an answer, I'll resolve it N/A. However, if it's framed as an actionable decision (e.g. "going to meetup.com events to make new friends" or "scheduling recurring monthly calls with long-distance friends") then it will count according to the normal resolution rules above.

For top-10 decisions (e.g. getting into rowing) that could count under multiple answers on the market (e.g. "cardio exercise" and "outdoor rowing"), I'll resolve the most-specific applicable answer as "YES" and the others as "N/A." Please don't try to game this by arbitrarily over-specifying answers (e.g. "joining a rowing team that goes outdoors every morning between 4 and 8 am") — if I suspect that's being done, I'll resolve the overly-specific answers as "N/A."

Please don't add item purchases to this market. Things that technically cost money but aren't specific items, like vacations or therapy, can be added here. Specific items belong in the corresponding item market.

This market is a bit of an experiment so I reserve the right to add some more clarifications here as answers come in.

Credit to Saul Munn's bounty market for giving me the idea to do this (I'm hoping this version will add some "wisdom of the crowd" in terms of evaluating the relative value of each answer). Feel free to add suggestions from his market as answers here. https://manifold.markets/saulmunn/how-can-improve-my-life
