Harness Your Anger and Get Things Done!
Here is a quick idea to boost your productivity. Sometimes to get things done it pays to get mad! The trick is to harness it and use it constructively.
- It doesn't work-- get mad and fix it!
- Facing a frustrating situation-- get mad and address it!
- Have a project languishing-- get mad and motivate through it!
- Someone says "it" can't be done-- get mad and show them!
- Had about enough-- get mad and change it to suit you!
I have used this technique many times to pull that extra push out from deep down inside and made "it" happen.
Try it . . . it works!

This is a meaningful post for me. I've long said that some folks won't make changes in their life until they get mad enough to do so.
It's a typical American trait. We are reactionary, and anger is one of the motivating factors. You are right when you say to use it constructively - that is the key.
This also reminds me of a supervisor of mine from years ago. When there was a problem within the control of an employee, he would always give the employee the option, "Are you going to fix this, or do you want me to fix it?"
Any smart employee always fixed it on their own because when the boss fixed it, you weren't going to be happy about the way it was fixed - not one little bit. So, the anticipatory anger was very motivating for his employees.

You're correct about anger being able to help you get things done. When I was a bit younger, if I got mad I'd probably kick something and have a tantrum. You definitely learn better ways to handle yourself when you get a little older.
