Programmers have a saying: Don't Repeat Yourself. (Duplicate code is a maintenance burden.)
But when it comes to spreading a message, here's a better version: Repeat Yourself.
State your message, clearly and concisely. Over and over.
When you think you've made your point loudly and clearly, make it again.
Say it one way. Say it another way.
If you're worried about sounding like a broken record, don't be.
Spaced repetition isn't just a trick for learning languages or chess openings. It's a tool for amplifying your signal. Use it.
