My challenge .. Day 2: Keep your goals for yourself? Hi guys! Today I want to write about a TED talk "Keep your goals for yourself" by Derek Sivers. Derek asked us to think about our biggest goal. We should imagine that we tell it someone, that we get congratulations and so on. But… it is not the best way to achieve our goal. Psychology studies figured out when people tell their goals it makes less likely to happen. In the test around 160 people should wrote their goals. Then a half of them announced their goal, the other half didn’t. After then everybody got 45 minutes to do something for their goal. The half, that shut up their mouth worked all 45 minutes. They said, they had a feeling of a long way to achieve the goal. The other group stopped their work after 33 minutes in average. Their feeling was that their goals were closer. Psychologists call this “social reality”. Our minds give us the feeling that the work is already done. When we feel satisfaction, we are less motivated to do the hard work. Derek told us, if we want to tell our goal to someone, then it is better to say it with a measure and maybe with asking for help. I think, it depends on … I have better experiences when I tell someone from my challenges and goals. It helps me to do it, it motivates me. My experiences are also that I get helpful ideas for the realization. Thank you to help me to achieve my challenge here.
