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.
One inspiration for this line of thinking was Michael Vassar complaining about how many people volunteer to help SIAI, versus how few people actually go through with helping them once he's given them projects. I noticed I do this sort of thing all the time.
