STUDY: Adorable Kittens Make You Work Better

This is the scientific study the internet has been waiting for. Apparently, the internet is not a giant timesuck designed to fill your life with useless facts, porn, and cat videos. It’s actually been a productivity boosting machine this whole time! A new Japanese study has found that looking at cute images actually boosts productivity.
