I've been using commitment device markets to motivate myself to study in the past. Since starting my LL.B. in October, studying has gone relatively well without any external structure. Over the last week, though, I’ve struggled to keep up my practice, so I’m creating this market as a gentle push to stay on track.
Market Condition:
Timeframe
From 24 November 2025 to 30 November 2025, inclusive.
Daily Minimum
The daily minimum study time is 120 minutes on all days within the timeframe.
Seminar time counts as study time.
Physical Illness Clause
If I'm physically ill enough to require bed rest that day is exempt from all rules. The final deadline is extended by 1 day per illness day. The deadline may be extended by a maximum of 7 days total. If more than 7 such days occur, the market resolves NO. I'm currently healthy.
Resolution Criteria
The market resolves YES if:
• All applicable daily minimums are met, and
• My overall daily average is at least 180 minutes, calculated as:
(total minutes studied) ÷ (number of non-exempt days, including deadline extensions)
The market resolves NO if:
• Any applicable daily minimum is missed, or
• The final average is below 180 minutes, or
• More than 7 physical illness days occur.
Additional Notes:
I will not trade on this market.
Thanks for participating! ❤️
