I absolutely love reading articles and I spend hours clicking HN links or reading things shared by people I follow on Twitter. But I have zero FOMO. I don’t download and organize music and video out of fear they will disappear from a steaming video. I don’t collect “read later” bookmarks (in fact I don’t use bookmarks for anything, ever). I don’t have a system for writing down notes or thoughts.
So if I have an idea I either act on it now, or remember later, or forget. And that’s fine.
To miss a great article, fail to realize a great idea, forget that great song that disappeared forever on Spotify is fine.
And I’m so thankful for feeling this. I think it’s basically another side of my laziness/ tendency for procrastination that helps me. But I like it. I’ll never be a person with an org mode full of random thoughts, a list of ideas for projects or blog posts, or a library of videos for watching later (or even more pathologically, or things I already watched).
