Does anyone else find it easier to stick to goals if you don't tell anyone else what they are?

Yeah, it's actually a well-studied phenomenon. Telling people gives you a feeling like you've actually done something, dillutes motivation. Don't tell.

I used to get all excited telling everyone my plans. No wonder I got nothing done.

That's certainly true for me. Some people swear by telling others to keep them accountable.

Yeah, I know the kind. I think those people have serious anxiety issues, but that's just my opinion. Could be anything.
