Why bother going to work? That’s the question I repeatedly asked myself after reading the results of three separate studies about work: one that concludes being bored at work is a good thing, another that suggests meetings can actually lower a person’s IQ and still another that finds gossiping among work teams is positive.
The first study, conducted by a psychology professor in the U.K., concludes that completing boring tasks at work helps us become better problem-solvers, because our brains use daydreaming time to think creatively.
