I've not asked the question "what I am missing out" for like almost a decade. It came from the realization that I constantly and always "miss out" on 99.99% of things that happened in the universe. Whatever more Twitter I read won't move the needle of the statistics.

Rarely it happens that my success depends on things I "miss out". On the other hand, usually that my success depends on how well I take advantage of the opportunities I currently have.

So respect the opportunity, and make sure you're ready when it comes.

The more I reduced my Twitter use, the more I realized how certain states of mind get stuck in it easily. The less anxious I got, the less concerned I was with missing out on online stuff, and the less I wanted to use Twitter obsessively.
