Digital Declutter Webinars
Take control of your tech to make it easy to get at the things that matter.
Intentionality is one of the fundamental principles of living joyfully. The sheer volume of information you’re expected to process daily makes it difficult to focus on what matters. Regularly declutter your phone, computer, email, and social media accounts to control your digital consumption.

JOMO Manifesto Download
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 JOMO movement began in the early 2010s when ethical tech entrepreneur Anil Dash coined the term on his blog and author Christina Crook published the book The Joy of Missing Out: Finding Balance in a Wired World.
Back then digital well-being was a fringe idea. People got their backs up when you mentioned the words “phone” and “addiction” in the same sentence. Over the last few years, our understanding of the cost of our digital devices has grown exponentially.
Today, not a day passes without a new study revealing the true costs of our screen obsession: unprecedented global loneliness, burnout and mental distress. Why? Because, while data informs us, relationships form us. It turns out we need more than information to make meaning.
JOMO is for anyone who wants less input, greater impact, and more joy. The JOMO Manifesto reflects the values of our global community.
