@redcat have you generally been able to follow through on objectives like this in the past?

@Bayesian Since I have been using markets on Manifold as commitment devices, I've become much more disciplined in some areas of my life. It's a method of governing my own life that suits me very well. Generally the biggest difficulty in practice is maintaining an unbroken streak. However in the case of this market, of course, it's not just about maintaining a routine, but also about maintaining (and building) an interest in the subject matter. Last year, a market that involved daily reading failed because I lost interest in the book. Nevertheless, I think the likelihood of me achieving this goal is very high, because the timeframe is short and it's only a first step, linked to larger professional and educational goals of mine.
