Narrative:
I was running late for a scheduled job later that afternoon. I was frustrated because others had caused this situation. Because of this situation; I was mentally distraction; did not go through my normal landing procedure; and landed gear up on the runway at ZZZ. I was alone and there were no injuries. The airplane has an aftermarket gear-up warning system. The fuse had been pulled because the gear-up warning voice was going off at altitude. Corrective actions: never be in a hurry when flying; never vary from SOP's; and I will not fly if the gear-up warning system is not operating properly.
