<story><title>From FOMO to JOMO: the joy of missing out</title><url>https://nesslabs.com/jomo</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>bigred100</author><text>I believe it’s easy to be cured of this disease by realizing what you want in life and realizing your limitations.&lt;p&gt;I care (like probably most other people) about having a reasonably good career, being reasonably financial stable, taking reasonably care of my health, my spiritual life, working on self-education and becoming more informed over time, practicing a small number of hobbies, socializing some, cleaning my house, and contributing some to the communities I find myself in. I’m not in a relationship but that would be very important if I were.&lt;p&gt;If something doesn’t fall into those, I don’t really care. I’m sure I’ll miss new and improved ways to do those marginally better, but I don’t really care. I basically go out of my way to avoid things that don’t contribute to those unless it’s socially essential (going out with friends or something).&lt;p&gt;Now there are still infinite variations and ways those all relate to each other and pitfalls to avoid. Watching news tv or reading it on the Internet has many cons. Not keeping has its own (out of touch, susceptible to believe nonsense, etc.). So I get a print newspaper and read it sometimes. Reading insane stuff on the internet may make you spend a lot of time incorrectly doing things that you think will help your health. So don’t do that. Etc (maybe some of its useful but certainly a lot isn’t)&lt;p&gt;Also have some humility (easier said than done). People are just going to be smarter and more successful than me and if I’m successful I’ll certainly meet them. No secret or new technique or extreme work routine will make something impossible happen to overcome that.</text></comment>
