On: Announcing your plans makes you less motivated to accomplish them (2009)

That's gernerally true for polster-types who brag around with what they have done wjile others see their contribution rather miniscule.

I know this could be understood insulting, still my observation though.

That's only if you're talking about major accomplishments, like "I'm gonna make Director by 2021". Ya that's bullshit and bragging. I'm referring to things like saying "Guys i'm gonna not drink for a month" or "I'm gonna finish that damn car repair this summer".
