Hmm..
"Proactive" has its uses.

I mainly use it in a contrasting sense, for example comparing a proactive police force (one that attempts to stop crime occurring) to a reactive one (one that attempts to catch criminals after the crime has occurred).

The rest, though, I hate. Anything more than 70% effort dedicated to a single task is excessive.
