Your output should eventually become louder than your explanation.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Explaining what you are going to do, or what your work means, does a lot of the work that the work should do. Over time, the ratio matters, and someone whose output speaks does not need to keep introducing it. The explanation should shrink as the body of work grows.

Notice how much time you spend describing versus producing. Shift the balance. Let one thing this year go out with almost no framing and see whether it holds.
