“The 5 Principles of JOMO:
1. JOMO is the opposite of FOMO (the Fear Of Missing Out).
2. JOMO is intentionally choosing what to keep and what to give.
3. JOMO is choosing to ignore the Joneses (NOT just NOT keep up).
4. JOMO is framing the moment to keep the big picture dream in focus.
5. JOMO is the art of improved results with minimalism over maximalism.”
