Most of us have quickly clicked away from a screen full of kittens as the boss approaches. There’s something about those cute videos that makes you break down and watch baby animal YouTube videos at work from time to time.

So the next time you get busted by your boss, you can quote this study! Looking at cute images of baby animals can actually make you more productive at work.

Researchers at Hiroshima University had students complete a series of work-like tasks.  During breaks, the participants were shown photos of either baby animals, adult animals, or delicious foods. 

Those who were shown the cute baby animals out-performed those who were shown the food or grown-up animals.

Baby animals help you focus. So….enjoy this video!!!
