Have you ever wondered why you get so distracted at work? Or whether it may mean that you have some kind of unhealthy condition? If you are getting distracted at work, it may not be all bad.

Being distracted can mean that you're actually smart

A recent study reveals that your inability to stay focused from checking emails multiple times, to going through tabs on your browser and checking out hilarious videos on Instagram, is because you are very smart. It's because you’re super smart.

A survey, which looked at the behavior patterns of more than 10,000 workers in 17 countries. The conclusion was that the more brilliant you are, the easier you get distracted.

The reason why this happens is that brilliant people find it harder to prioritize all of their ideas. If you try to deal with every idea, you may end up feeling overwhelmed and distracted. And when you think of the multiple texts, pings, calls at your work, it’s amazing you get through your work.
