I have election fatigue, so I'm going to try complete self-exclusion for at least 7 days, inspired by @tftftftftftftftftftftftf .

So that means, starting 0900h PDT (UTC-7): I will self-exclude from twitter, manifold, electionbettingodds, various substack email notifications, and all news sites using my pi-hole. I don't watch TV so that's not a potential vector, and I don't discuss politics with my family or friends so that's not a thing as well. I work remotely and my workplace has a no-politics rule as well so that's easy. I believe this covers most bases but i'll implement other measures as i think of them.

With these measures in place, will I manage to go 7 days without checking up on, or learning anything about the election? It's a bit subjective, but the spirit of the market is if i actively seek out or engage with election content so it's not like i will consider it a failure as soon as I see the name Harris or Trump. If however i come across content accidentally that gives me a significant clue about new developments in the election (e.g a podcast notification that says Tim Walz replaced or Trump leads in new poll or whatever) then i will consider it a failure.

Resolves on Mon 21 Oct 0900h PDT or as soon as I falter

I will basically also not comment on the market
