I would agree but [1] is likely one of the top 3 biggest exiatential issues facing mankind right now. We live in an age of increasingly weaker connections between people.
So while in paper these 3 items look easy, they're likely not.
I am not a person who would know what the biggest existential issues are, but I have always found it to be helpful to ask for product recommendations in the various group chats that I partake in. It also clamps down on consumerism, and I've found that I just buy less stuff. I am fully up to date on all of the latest tech news and new technologies, but my phone is 6 years old and I don't care.
Some people have this notion of only buying best-in-class products or the latest stuff which they have to rigorously find by going through tons of reviews and looking at various articles and what not. I have (almost) no FOMO, and I don't mind not having the best, it frees up my time to do more important stuff like spend time with my children or watch a movie with my partner.
