These test subjects also beat out others who looked at pictures of adult animals or gourmet meals instead.
So the next time you are caught smiling at the computer screen while at work, devouring the awesomeness that is cat videos or puppy magic, you can defend against your boss’s seething remarks with SCIENCE!

Looking at me can make you more productive at work! Trust me, science has confirmed this!
Looking at cute animals helps with “behavioral carefulness,” or focusing on one thing at a time. So getting lost in a puppy’s eyes can make you that excel sheet all over again for any errors. Like a Boss!
