Helping you bring joy to those around you.
Through data-driven habit building and resources, there is hope in finding joy again outside of the digital world.
About JOMO
JOMO is the joy of missing out on the right things—life-taking things like toxic hustle, comparison, and digital drain. The JOMO journey began in 2012 when tech entrepreneur Anil Dash coined the term ‘the joy of missing out’ on his blog. Shortly after, New Society Publishers published The Joy of Missing Out: Finding Balance in a Wired World by Christina Crook.

Speaking Topics

Christina Crook’s keynote offering introduces your audience to the meaning and value of the Joy of Missing Out: the personal and professional costs of FOMO, the elements of lasting and meaningful joy, and the life-giving, scientifically-proven power of warm human relationships. She’ll present the evidence-based realities of how toxic hustle, digital isolation, and faulty goal-setting lead to declines in well-being and engagement and how to get them back.
Conference and retreat keynote -
Social media invites unlimited, unrelenting comparison. In this talk, we unpack the pitfalls of social contagion (wanting what others have) and unlock the simple game-changing strategy that stops it. Studies show that people who are happiest with technology use it differently. Based on Christina’s extensive one-on-one work exploring values and goal setting, participants assess how their values align or misalign with their tech use, learn the principles of digital well-being and take practical steps to declutter their devices in real-time.

Today’s student has never existed without technology; as a result, we know that their attention spans are low, and their learning styles demand entertainment. We also know they are aware of their distraction and experiencing more digital overwhelm than ever. In this talk, Christina Crook will help us explore aligning our values with intentional technology use in and out of the classroom to prioritize well-being, engagement and academic success. What if we can learn from the months and years of the pandemic, not as a brief deviation from our steady march toward a promised destination but as a valuable lesson in digital technology’s limitations and the kind of educational experience we really want?
