That’s funny because for me it’s the opposite, if I announce it to anyone, the likelihood that I ever follow through drops off a cliff. If I tell someone else I’m going to change in some way, I get that serotonin without doing anything. If I don’t tell them then the achievement only comes at the end.
Also this meme is exactly how I’ve always treated new years. New years is just an excuse to not change. If you’re going to change do it when you first think of it, don’t wait for some specific day. Also it makes it so you have an excuse, “ah didn’t do my New Year’s resolution this year” and everyone else understands cause they did the exact same thing.
