Apparently, the dopamine rush of telling someone about your project, you going back to school, you getting healthy, improving yourself, etc is so strong it’s basically pre-rewarding you for it. The result is scientifically-documented drops in people following-through and achieving their goals… You want to succeed? Don’t tell anyone until you’re already almost there!
THANK you. My cat was adorable, but inhaling her fur while trying to get to sleep was difficult…
