I think it's necessary to be unproductive for phases in your life. For me, the unproductive phases are times where I can reflect on where I'm going in my life and if I'm going in the right direction. After all, what's the use of being productive if it's for the wrong cause? However, I tend to overanalyze too often instead of just getting out there and doing it. I think you're right when you say motivation is largely emotional and should be replaced with decision/habit. This is what defines self-disciplined people in my opinion. What an interesting post.
