Gartner found 85% of your resources would be required for maintenance just to keep the data center that you have installed going. Don't take that remaining 15%. When you have 15%, let's say discretionary time, don't try to splice and slice that 15% into 15 different things. Choose one thing that you're going to use as a bet and an exploration. See what you think, eliminate it entirely if it's not what you want to do and try another or keep investing it and growing it.
Patrick McGinnis, creator of the term FOMO, and Greg discuss the anxiety we all sometimes feel, globally known as the fear of missing out. From its roots as a biological response to a term amplified in culture through social media, this episode helps us to understand how to combat this feeling through practical decision making, prioritizing what is essential, and turning FOMO into a positive mindset.
