Unproductive recreational browsing includes stuff like browsing X/Twitter, reading Hacker News, etc.
Calculated as the average (mean) number of hours spent on unproductive recreational browsing in all weeks between Monday, 23 Jun 2025 and Monday, 22 Sep 2025. Inclusive of the first day and exclusive of the final day. A week is defined here as starting on Monday and ending on Sunday.
I will be tracking time spent on different activities, including recreational browsing, using an Apple Watch app. I have been using this app for a few months now and have found myself to be (in my opinion) consistently accurate/honest about it so far. I commit to not cheat by undercounting or underreporting time spent on browsing, or by any other means. If I have an unprecedented timekeeping failure of some kind such that it's impossible to resolve the market confidently, I will resolve NA.
I will not trade in this market. I commit to posting weekly time tracking updates under this market.
To further incentivize myself to behave, if this market resolves to NO, I commit to donate $50 (US) to an organization/cause chosen by the largest holder of NO shares. If there is a tie I'll do something reasonable, e.g. a fair coin flip between the contenders.
