This is an experimental commitment device market about avoiding mobile devices and audio content while in bed, with some tolerated usage. My last attempt failed. This time I'm giving myself one day off per week, with a longer overall timeframe.
Timeframe
2025-11-01 to 2025-11-30, inclusive.
Prohibited devices and content
While in bed, no use of smartphones, tablets, or laptops is permitted.
E-readers are allowed.
No listening to any audio content (music, podcasts, audiobooks, etc.) while in bed.
Allowances and exceptions
Up to 5 minutes total per day of prohibited mobile device use and audio content consumption in bed is tolerated, combined across all devices and content. (added for practicality)
One day per week is exempt from all rules. That day is banked if unused. Banked days carry over to future weeks/ markets and never expire.
Days when physically ill (enough to need bed rest) are exempt from all rules.
Resolution criteria
YES if total mobile device usage and audio content consumption in bed did not exceed 5 minutes combined on any single non-exempt day during the timeframe.
NO if mobile device usage and audio content consumption in bed exceeded 5 minutes combined on any non-exempt day.
Additional notes
I will not trade on this market.
