So, what’s JOMO all about?


JOMO is the joy of missing out on the right things—life-taking things like toxic hustle, comparison, and digital drain. The Joy of Missing Out is a social movement, a philosophy, a set of values, a mission statement, and a lifelong pursuit.

At JOMO, our focus is less on setting limits on technology than creating positive conditions for other - more life-giving engagements - to thrive and flourish. Our mission is to build more joyful lives through intentional digital consumption.

Read the JOMO Manifesto to understand the values that guide our work.

 

“Christina motivated me to action valuable checks and balances to ensure my digital time wasn’t getting in the way of my goals. One month later, I continue to feel more plugged into my life and less into the web.”

Melissa, Senior Business Partner at Experience Point
