Of course, selecting an espresso machine setting may well be signalling, even when preparing breakfast alone.
If the machine doesn't remember the setting and the next user can't see it, this indeed may be self-signaling (self-priming? non-verbal self-affirmation?), but I'm pretty sure that Robin asked for examples of "least-signaling" activities, not "least-self-signaling" activities.
(On the other hand, mentioning the breakfast espresso setting to others is signaling proper.)
I think I'd want to lump self-signaling with signaling, since self-signaling would also lead to unreliable beliefs about one's reasons for doing things.
