If you're too uncomfortable with being self-promotional and don't have sufficient time to self-modify prior to submitting the document you're working on, try stepping back and saying "Would police think this was relevant evidence if they were trying me for being qualified?"

Longer-term I suggest thinking of self-promotion the same way you do about self-cooking, self-writing, self-filing-the-taxes: if you don't pay a professional to do this it is unlikely someone will do it for you for free w/o an existing relationship so it's pretty much on you.

Can one potentially overdo it? Yes. But people who are worried about being self-promotional are, in my experience, not within astronomical units of the line, and people who are over the line have not worried for a single second in their lives about whether a line exists.

Very true. I think a lot of this has to do with cultural backgrounds, too. As an American I think I'm far more ok tooting my own horn than with a lot of Europeans I work with. But as an American Southerner, I'm much more reserved than my fellow West/East Coasters, for example.
