In this brief podcast monologue, the speaker reflects on a personal habit of saying yes to every invitation, activity, and request, driven by an imaginative and optimistic mindset. This pattern led to a chronic fear of missing out (FOMO) and a depletion of personal time. The turning point came when the speaker discovered the concept of JOMO—joy of missing out—which served as a strategic tool for protecting time, setting boundaries, and shifting from anxiety about missing experiences to appreciation for intentional choices.

Chapters

I used to have to say yes to everything. My imaginative and optimistic mind would get excited by pretty much any and all invitations, activities, and support and projects for friends and family, and so much to the detriment of my time, right? And so I had a real case of FOMO, fear of missing out, missing out on something fun. And it was only when I learned JOMO, the joy of missing out, did I realize what an important tool this is.
