More On Not Sharing Goals

This video shares some of the science behind the idea that sharing goals can undermine your enthusiasm for them.

I like the bit at the end about "if you really must talk about your goals, state it in a way that doesn't give you much satisfaction." In other words, say "I want to be a pilot, but I have a lot of flight hours to clock before that," rather than "I'm going to become a pilot."

I think for me just not talking about goals, except in the vaguest sense, would be best. So if weight loss were a goal, instead of detailing how much weight I plan to lose and how I plan to lose it, I'd just say "I'll be working on losing some weight" if I feel that I need to comment on a goal at all.
