A message isn't required to update the state of the progress bar, though.

important_things = ["important"] * 20

with ProgWithMsg() as p:
    for idx in range(len(important_things)):
        # Do useful things here
        if idx % 2 == 0: # Skip odd numbers
            msg = "processing important thing no. {}".format(idx) 
        else:
            msg = None
        
        p.update(idx, len(important_things), msg)
        time.sleep(0.1)
