YES

The past week I have begun to be very unproductive, often only getting an hour's work done in almost 6-7 hrs. This is bad, and it is an issue I want to fix before it becomes a habit (I'd also like to correct my general habit of procrastination).

So, I will be betting my entire balance (save 100 bucks in case I lose it all) on YES. This market will resolve YES iff I deem myself sufficiently productive for the entire day tomorrow (Monday May 22). This includes (but isn't limited to):

  • Meeting all of my goals for the day (finishing all relevant homework, practicing violin, doing math, etc)

  • Never being on any sort of social media for more than 15 minutes at a time (yes I will check my screen time + browser history)

  • Not being on any sort of social media + video games (other than chatting platforms, in case i need to contact friends for projects, etc) for a total of more than 30 minutes before I finish all my work

  • Being attentive and focused thoughout most of my work time

Some of this is quite subjective but hopefully those give a rough idea of what I count as productive. I will be forcing myself to higher standards than what I think is "productive enough" for a day, as sort of an overcorrection for previous behavior and to see how productive I can actually be if I want to.

If y'all have suggestions for good focus lmk!

EDIT: tomorrow starts when I wake up, so anything that happens after midnight before I sleep does not count towards the market!!! (this is very important for certain reasons)
