Odd thing is I don't think those things have to be in that order, and I think we are free to move between them as we see fit. A relative of mine started out working endlessly to have something more, only to end up falling into some situations that were less than ideal. Over the years he spent his time rebuilding his life, and finally entering that productive phase once again. For him it was formative, productive, formative, reflective, and finally productive. That's how I see it at least. I also think that sometimes those years can happen at the same time. I would put myself in the formative years, but I would consider these last three years in college as being productive.
