Well, I just learned something that makes it slightly easier on me to get my notability up (I didn't realize that BDR lowered the amount of making waves needed), but it doesn't detract from what made me anxious in the first place: getting higher notability requires actually insane amounts of making waves!
Ironically, mid typing of this, I decided to check how many slots I had open for BDR items, and I didn't realize that my association with god's editors gave me *4* respectable! That's a lot. Maximizing my current items for BDR took the making waves I needed from an insane 30 MW (465 change points), to a much more doable 23 MW (276 cp).
But I'm still worried about 5+ notability. No matter how you cut it, that's getting to be a lot of making waves..more than I think I can even produce in a dedicated week.

I tend to build MW over more than one week -- use the actions not needed for other plans. I also sometimes invest favours or other goods to boost them on lodging cards. The orphanage or salon are also good for building up potential MW over longer periods.

30 MW is quite doable in a week, if you put actions toward MW - like upconverting tales of terror to uncanny incunabula, going out for coffee with other players, the palace storylet "life of the mind" et cetera.
That being said, it is not going to stop at MW 30, and for the upper tiers, you probably want a salon or orphanage - you can invest into scheming over time, and then cash in at an opportune moment for a very big boost of MW.
Also, I'd recommend looking through this guide, it was very helpful for me when I became a POSI: The ultimate guide to notability

30MW isn't insane, even at end-game BDR maxing out notability requires something around 40-50MW. It does take some dedicated grinding to get there. However, it's by no means unachievable - last time I was grinding it, I went from 13 to 15 in one week, using only side-conversions and I think about three crooked-cross speeches at my salon.
BDR helps immensely - every 4 BDR is equivalent to reducing the notability goal by 1 (since MW increases by 4 for each successive notability, but every point of BDR decreases it by 1). So with end-game BDR around 28+, N15 is equivalent to grinding up to N8 with 0 BDR. It does call for some bursts of doing nothing but increasing MW, but it's not a world-ending grind.

Notability isn't all that important anyway. There are a few specific things you want notability for (usually holiday events) and you can get it up for them in advance, ignoring it entirely the rest of the year.
I keep mine at 9 for the Unsigned Message boxes. It takes 0 effort to maintain since I get my MW to ~15 every week naturally from polite invitation parties.
