Inspired by @gorillawarfare with their "Successful Week" markets. Go check them out!
Updates:
I've brought back the previous format. My progress will no longer be kept by a Google Sheets, but instead, I will be posting my progress directly into the comments below. No other updates.
Resolution Criteria
This market resolves to the total number of points earned between March 22, 12:01 AM PDT and March 29, 11:59 PM PDT. Points are awarded for completing assignments and tasks by their individual deadlines. Late submissions are penalized 2 points per day until reaching 0 points. Early submissions of 24 hours or earlier will be awarded 5 additional points.
Background
This is part of an ongoing series of personal commitment markets tracking assignment and task completion. The creator uses these markets as motivation devices for timely coursework and task submission, establishing a baseline for future markets. Below are links for previous iterations your reference:
• "Will I finish my weekly homework by March 1st, 11:59 PM?" (resolved YES).
• "Will I finish my assignments before March 8th, 11:59 PM?" (resolved NO)
• How many points will I get by completing tasks before March 15th, 11:59 PM? (~69 points)

Considerations
Points are awarded only for tasks and assignments completed by their individual deadlines—submissions after a task's deadline do not count, even if submitted before the March 29 cutoff. The creator will provide daily score updates in the comments and may provide additional updates along the way.
Also note that it is impossible to get early completion points for daily tasks but may be possible for daily assignments.
Personal Notes:
I will also be betting on this market to motivate myself
