In response, the concept of JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) has emerged, advocating for a radical reclamation of cognitive sovereignty. Unlike the outward-looking envy of FOMO, JOMO prioritizes the internal quality of experience over the external quantity of engagement.

It necessitates a fundamental shift in how we value "unproductive" time in a society that considers constant activity as social and professional worth.
