Frustration as Motivation?

This has not been a good day.

I have money woes.

And car accident woes, which are contributing to the money woes.

I have house hunting woes, which are contributing to the money woes.

But hey, apparently anger and frustration and stress are motivators, because I made huge headway on my "to do" list at work today.

And my list of emails that required follow-up. That list went from 30 items down to 9 items.
