Lack of motivation leads to passive behavior
The most common cause of passive behavior is being unmotivated.
It is a myth that motivation needs to come before action. More often, it is action that leads to motivation. You forced yourself to get in your workout gear and then suddenly felt ready to go. You forced yourself to meet friends and ended having a great time.
Action comes first, then motivation follows. When you feel unmotivated and passive, do something. Motivation and productivity will follow behind.
