In the whirlwind of our hyperconnected society, we’ve all been there – the incessant Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) that lures us into adding one more Slack channel, diving into yet another online discussion, or racing to attend one more event, all in the quest to catch that elusive something important or thrilling.

But what if we could flip the script and turn FOMO into the empowering Joy of Missing Out (JOMO)? Imagine a life where you relish moments of solitude, prioritize genuine connections, and savor the present without being tethered to the never-ending pursuit of the “next big thing.”

Join me in this whirlwind 10-minute journey at WordCamp as we unravel the FOMO-JOMO phenomenon in the context of remote work and beyond. Discover practical tips and strategies to strike the right balance between staying informed and finding tranquility in the digital chaos.

The talking points will be in this direction:

  • Our community culture is often centered around FOMO (fear of missing out)
  • FOMO is often not sustainable – we have limited time in our lives and need to prioritize.
  • Create space to focus on what really matters to you by switching to JOMO (joy of missing out)
  • What do you want to prioritize in your life? How do you figure that out?
