Thanks for the article!

One thing tho: point no. 7 doesn't work for everyone. For me, it's the opposite. Telling everyone my plans actually takes me away from doing it.

Yes, this is because we get satisfaction from others knowing what we're working on (whether we finished it or not). They don't need to know the whole story for us to get a good dose of dopamine from telling them how awesome we are [maybe going to be]...

Yes its said by people that if you announce to someone that gives you a feeling of accomplishment just by telling them and you end up not doing that.

Strange. I strongly agree with that point in article. If I already told somebody about what I'm gonna do and when I will have it done, it is much more motivation for me as I don't wanna be seen like some looser and idiot :D

What's strange for you may be normal for me and vice versa :)
