This theory seems to make a testable prediction: you will have less akrasia if your signaling requires you to reach your goal, not just show that you're working towards it. Looking at my life, I'm not sure if that's true.
I find signaling to others a useful way to meet goals. A lot of the time, I will tell other people about something that I'm working on, so I am more motivated to impress that person, and avoid looking bad if they ask me about it later and I haven't done any work on it.
