This market is about whether I will study every day (*with a few exemptions) from 10. February until 31. March 2025. It serves as a commitment device to help me build a consistent learning habit while allowing flexibility for comfort and unforeseen circumstances.
Rules:
Baseline Rule:
If I start studying before 11 a.m., the daily minimum is 40 minutes. If I start studying after 11 a.m., the daily minimum is 50 minutes.
Joker Rule:
Studying for 60 minutes before 11 a.m. or 75 minutes after 11 a.m. earns me ½ joker. Each joker allows me to skip one day without penalty.
Special Circumstances:
On days when I am physically ill, injured, or have appointments that occupy most of the day, the daily minimum is reduced to 0-40 minutes (depending on severity) regardless of the time I start studying.
Additional Notes:
The study material will consist of Coursera video courses and readings on the topic of Psychology.
I start this market with a fractured elbow. Rule 3 applies until plaster is removed.
I will not bet on this market.
