Productive Anxiety

For many people, including myself, being productive is a great way to feel good and relieve stress.  Being productive can exist in many different forms; it can be a student accomplishing a lot of work, a mother running a ton of errands, or a business man making a profit gain by the end of the day.  But what makes people productive? I have my own theories about this phenomena.

I think that people will naturally gain stress no matter what happens.  Whether they have a lot of work to do or have to meet a deadline, people will have anxiety about things in all situations.  I think that it is the anxiety itself that forces people to go to work.  When I am stressed about something, the only plausible way to relieve that stress is to do whatever it is that is stressing me out.  Through this, I am inevitably being productive through accomplishing the tasks that I had to do.  Productive stress can be a great thing, for it gets more things done than more people think.  Every high school junior, like myself, knows this feeling!
