Should we tell people about our goals or keep them to ourselves?

In this episode we will examine the psychology of goal setting through personal anecdotes and the research to see if we should share about our projects, goals, and dreams or if we are more likely to stay motivated and achieve them if we keep our objectives to ourselves. We will explore how this ties in with extrinsic vs intrinsic motivation and how identity shapes actions. We will also discuss frameworks that may allow us to get the best of both worlds, considering that there is evidence on each side of this camp - team accountability and team grind in silence.
