You can borrow a technique from Beyonce to reach your goals faster

afrodiaspores:

When I set personal goals, I keep them just that: personal.

I don’t discuss business projects with family or close friends, and when it comes to stuff closer to the heart (like dropping a few pounds or saving more money), I tell no one.

Why all the secrecy?

Because communicating your goals tricks the brain into thinking you’ve already achieved them.

Sharing your plan makes you less likely to put in the work necessary to achieve it, even when the people you tell are supportive.
