Distractions at work could help problem-solving

Telegraph.co.uk: "Distractions in the workplace have long been a source of complaint between colleagues but according to a new study, they may actually help us solve problems...

Professor Adam Galinsky, who led the study, said: "Conscious thought is better at making linear, analytic decisions, but unconscious thought is especially effective at solving complex problems. Unconscious activation may provide inspirational sparks underlying the 'Aha!' moment that eventually leads to important discoveries.""

So, in other words, LOLcats are an effective workplace productivity tool - right?
