In this short video, the speaker highlights the phenomenon of decision fatigue, citing research that the average person makes about 35,000 decisions each day—equating to roughly one choice every two seconds when awake. The rapid succession of decisions leads to mental exhaustion, especially noticeable in the mid‑afternoon slump when people make poorer choices like indulging in sweets. The narrator shares a personal story, describing themselves as a recovering perfectionist with a strong fear of missing out (FOMO) who is learning to embrace the joy of missing out (JOMO).

The overall message encourages awareness of decision overload and suggests adopting JOMO as a strategy to reduce unnecessary choices and preserve mental energy.
