Short YouTube clip (TJ Walker) giving practical advice to increase likelihood of achieving major goals: publicly announce goals or get an accountability partner so external social pressure (including fear of shame) augments intrinsic motivation.

Do you want to increase the odds that you'll actually fulfill a major goal? Run a marathon, lose 20 pounds, then tell the world? Post it on social media? Get an accountability partner. The fact that you know that other people know you're trying to do this will in fact motivate you. Maybe it's not the perfect motivation, but it is motivation. It's good to have internal intrinsic motivation, but some external motivation in the fear of shame occasionally. As long as you decided you wanted it can work for you. Doesn't have to be about your body. It can be about how much money you're gonna raise for the heart association or some other charity. But let people know what high goals you're going for and that you're gonna publicly fail if you don't. Please follow the TJ Walker habit.
