JOMO

While watching this YouTube video - "Why I stopped reading 30 books per year", I recalled a concept called JOMO.

JOMO is the opposite of FOMO.

FOMO is the Fear Of Missing Out. JOMO is the Joy Of Missing Out.

JOMO has its article which I'll reread later, but i know what i'm reminded of.

I don't have to read all the articles in the world.
I don't have to read all the twitter threads available.
I shouldn't even feel the need to add most of them as bookmarks.

Curate classics and reread them.
Is there an acronym for "I don't care if I'm missing out?" I'd like that one.

Ha my sentiments align with Brandon on this one.

I used to be on the 
JOMO
train as well until I realized that taking joy in something was just actually fear dressed up and marketed as something to make msyelf feel better.

true joy comes from not taking joy in missing out but no longer worrying about whether you are or aren't missing out.

taking joy in missing out is just a teenage rebellious act.
