JOMO Will Increase Your Productivity by x97

TL;DR: You are mortal. You will die. Don’t waste your time.

What is JOMO?

• Modern sites and applications exploit our primitive vulnerabilities.
• Our brains are wired for alerts and attention.
• This is how we survive as a race.
• We are safer than ever now.
• We don’t need to be so alert nowadays. Even in COVID-19 times.

1. FOMO is based on the perception that something out there is better than what we are doing now. But sometimes perception is a deception in disguise.
2. Limit your time online to a fixed amount.
3. We can control FOMO using full consciousness, mindfulness, or meditation.
