You’re Not Wasting Time: Looking At Baby Animals Helps Productivity

A new study has just come out claiming that looking at pictures of cute things, specifically baby animals, helps you focus on tasks and increases productivity. Isn’t this the best news ever? All of those hours spent on Cute Overload are not wasted hours, after all! In the study, scientists had subjects look at pictures of kittens and puppies and then play Operation. Those that looked at the pictures first did better in the game.

Did we really need a study to tell us that looking at pictures of cute animals improves our lives? Well, nope. But isn’t it a great excuse to look at 20 pictures of adorable animals?

If this isn’t Stef in kitten form, I don’t know what is.
