Joy of missing out

I discovered the concept of JOMO - the joy of missing out (as opposed to, of course, FOMO the fear of missing out) in the book Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman.
You can really beat yourself up because when you go down the FOMO path there are always going to be infinite other options and you can't possibly take all of them.
You find yourself spinning your wheels, wondering if this is the best path or if that is the best path and not make any progress. Whereas the concept of JOMO means that you pick one knowing that once you've picked it, it's a joy because you can just get on with it.
You rule out all the other options that could have been and you're on the path.
It's the right path because it's the one that you've chosen.
You've made a decision and actually getting on with it, so you get better results and you're in a peaceful and focused headspace since you've eliminated the distracting options.
Do you get FOMO or JOMO?
Or a bit of both?
Cheers,
Adam
