Creator explains why to move silently from @cariwilliamson

The creator delivers a monologue from a leather armchair, advising viewers not to share their goals or ideas with others until they are completed.

Transcript excerpt

It's a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad idea to tell your family and friends about your ideas and what you think you're going to do until it is done and behind you. Especially, since I have ADHD, I'm, like, you know, obviously, like, constantly searching for dopamine. Sharing your ideas or, like, what you're about to do with anyone. First of all, you squander that dopamine just by telling them, like, that is your dopamine hit. Instead of saving that tension and using it to power you and motivate you to actually, like, take action on whatever your goals are or whatever you're planning on, you kind of, like, deflated a little bit by telling people. And especially if that message from those people is met with, like, any sort of negative energy, then it just deflates you even more rank sets you back, like, three or four steps. It's such a cliche, but, like, the move in silence, I get it. I get why they say that because it's like movement needs momentum, and that momentum gets squandered by talking about it before you actually do it, before you're actually doing it or before you've actually done it. Been a weird and hard lesson learned. You gotta protect your momentum. I think that's what it is.
