The more you think about a secret, the more motivation resources you use, a research has found.

According to Columbia Business School, keeping secrets means carrying “physical weight,” which can drain energy and make tasks hard.

“Being preoccupied by a secret at work can be demotivating,” the Daily Mail quoted Michael Slepian, an assistant professor at Columbia Business School, as saying

“The burden of secrecy can make things around you appear more challenging and if you're less motivated to tackle these challenges, your performance can suffer.”
