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)

@ithildulin i also got very close to breaking my "total of 30 minutes' distraction" on manifold i think, but i pulled through in the end
@JohnSmithb9be yeah, its mostly just to take one day to prove to myself how happy and non-depressed being productive will actually make me, rather than a good fleshed out plan to fix my issues
@ithildulin :c
"productivity is about the MINDSET, AMELIA !!!! YOU NEED TO START THE DAY OFF WELL and get good sleep too :)) <3<3"
