I've found that following a pattern helps me spend less time in #ExecutiveDysfunction or #FOMO #reading hell.

I read a non-fiction work, a fiction work, then something I remember fondly and/or want to experience reading again as an adult. Repeat.

So far, I'm starting new #books much easier. There is far less worry about losing track of a book I want to read or finding the "perfect" order because I can always any new book on my list can always be at most a few books away if it interests me.

Je suis en train de doomer sur #Mastodon en actualisant tous mes fils, j'ai l'impression d'être sur l'oiseau bleu et de subir la peur de rater (ou #FOMO pour Fear of missing out)

Non j'ai pas de #FOMO c'est faux

Dreamed about solving a true crime case and having a #FOMO moment 😆

Oh zut je suis passé à côté! @comeetie t'aurais pu prévenir aussi! 😅 #fomo
Merci @dmontagne pour le chouette compte-rendu!

Me:

“Yikes, all these cruises…I need to stop spending for a while.”

“Ooh, a cool new #Kickstarter!” 💰

How many am I still waiting on rewards from? Yeah.

#ThrowbackThursday Cog Neuro Admitting Program (CNAP) PhD student @PaulCMcKeePsych's recent work found that undergrads w/ higher levels of #FOMO were "more likely to engage in academic misconduct, drug and alcohol use, and breaking the law." https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/addiction/news/20221018/can-fomo-drive-you-to-drink

#change #fear #FOMO

@habibcham haha thanks. I’m hanging! I know it’s daft, as the TestFlight app is nowhere near finished. But I’ve got real #Fomo

#Anxiety & fear of social inadequacy (from #FOMO to #mentalhealth issues) are not a bug in #capitalism but one of its key features;

#capitalists can only profit (when we can, mostly obtain the basics we need) by engineering new 'demands' for things we *didn't* know we wanted until they were presented to us by the fashionable & early adopters;

In a healthy society, this can be a relatively constructive force, but in an increasingly broken system like the UK its behind our #mentalhealthcrisis

I can't ignore my family for long enough to achieve the #cycling #festive500 and I have #FOMO

Planning to #travel around #namibia next September. Any tips/help would be appreciated as I suffer terribly from #FOMO !!! Just don't want to get there and realise I've missed something amazing!! 5 weeks so plenty of wiggle room. Thanks

@GlasWolf I'm waiting for what seems to me 'an acceptable period of time' before admitting I also bought the latest version of Pandemic 🤣 I bought the newest one first but couldn't shake the need to know what the original was like. A kind of analogue FOMO?! Probably just another outcome of my odd brain type 🤣 #boardgames #FOMO #Pandemic

"Adidas sold out but we find ways in the #Philippines." #CTTO (This photo found its way into one of my group chats) 🤣

Because we are not a #football nation, original #Adidas football club shirts are rare to find and definitely not affordable. But the #FOMO and the Filipinos' deprecating sense of humour always finds a way into what's trending on social media. 😁 #worldcup #argentina #messi #WorldCup22

Hey vous ! J'ai désactivé toutes les notifs sauf les messages directs histoire de vivre une "autre expérience" que le #FoMo sur ce réseau. Ça fait que je vérifie pas qui me suit ou pas, qui est là ou pas, etc. Du coup hésitez pas à me mettre un petit mot 👋 si je vous "follow" sur un autre réseau et pas sur masto, ça serait ballot !

:mastolove: sur vous, dans tous les cas !

(et pour voir mes #photo|s, c'est toujours sur https://frama.link/valk )

In the meantime it's not possible for me to keep up with reading my whole timeline (like "back in the days"). And that even though I paid attention on whom to follow, switch off certain boosters etc.

If you are in the same situation – how did you tackle this and how do you deal with FOMO? It's all so exciting, but there's only so much time one can spend doom scrolling 🙈

@CriticalCupcake What'd I miss? #FOMO

@nisadani @rakontisto I managed to get tickets to #burningman this year but decided to turn them back in because of concern about cost (this was when gas was ~$5/gal) and COVID precautions. Planes had just stopped masking and it’s a 6-7 hour flight. … then I started having extreme #FOMO almost instantly.

Why do I do this to myself? I have set a couple of filters so I'm not reading/looking at subjects that I have zero interest in. But of course every time I see the clouded filter I have to click on it to see what I am missing! I'm the one who is last to leave a party in case I miss out on something and who has to check out all the posts since my last visit. I am the #FOMO queen. #SoAnnoying #NeedToRelax
