progresseer

The term "progresseer" refers to a colloquialism describing someone who is more interested in appearances and presentations than in actual progress or results. A progresseer is often characterized as displaying an excessive focus on the process, often accompanied by long-term commitments or investments.

Progresseers are often used as a contrast to procrastinators, who are usually accused of neglecting their responsibilities or delaying tasks altogether. In contrast, progresseers tend to engage in activities that demonstrate progress on a task, even if those activities do not ultimately yield tangible results.

Some characteristics commonly associated with progresseers include a strong emphasis on hypothetical outcomes, a tendency to over-specify projects, and an eagerness to participate in discussions about future plans. They may also invest significant time and resources in refining their approaches, only to lose sight of the ultimate objective.

The phenomenon of progresseerism can be observed in various fields, including academia, professional development, and social activism. It is worth noting that the term "progresseer" has, to a certain extent, become pejorative in some contexts, implying that someone is more interested in appearance or propaganda than actual outcomes. The concept highlights tensions between idealism, creativity, and true progress.
