I believe Signalling vs Actually getting your job done is extremely pervasive and not accounted for by your list.
I think that Signaling vs Actually doing things would map to Saving vs Savoring in the typical case that you want status in the short run via signaling ("savoring") and shifting the world more towards your values if you choose to signal less ("saving").
No, I think these are quite different things. Signaling vs Doing is less about short-term vs. long-term and more about satisfying external/appearance requirements vs satisfying internal/actual requirements.
Those two really need a better name. Profit-Taking vs Investment?
One marshmallow vs. Two marshmallows :-)
Economists would call it consumption vs. investment.
The trade-off is basically about delayed gratification.
