Well done is better than well said.

RESILIENCE
Talking about a thing gives you some of the satisfaction of having done it, which is exactly why the talking is so easy to prefer. A description can be tidied, timed, and made to sound better than the work would look. The finished work does not need any of that. It simply exists, and anyone can check it.
Take whatever you have been explaining lately and spend an hour on it instead. Say less about what you intend, and let the next person who asks find something already there. The quiet version is usually the convincing one.
What have you described more often than you have done?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
