I'm not convinced that announcing plans causes people not to fulfil them. The studies may show correllation, but I wouldn't assume cause and effect. Another explanation could be that the people who keep their plans to themselves are the kind of people who are more likely to carry them out.

What's more important is finding those factors that personally motivate you. For me making a public announcement helps in the short term, to get the ball rolling, but doesn't keep my motivation at a high level.
