Are you easily distracted at work? Well you could just be SUPER smart

Ever get told off at work for not concentrating? Do you have a daily struggle to prioritise one thing over another?

Well according to a new study, workers who regularly find it difficult to focus in the workplace may actually just be incredibly intelligent. 

And why do these employees find it so difficult to concentrate? Because of all the BRILLIANT ideas they have whizzing around their brains, of course. 

"Employers are always on the lookout for the brightest people available," said the vice president of Steelcase, who published the research. 

"However the difficulty to withstand multiple tasks and distractions in the office affects smart people in the same way as everyone else, if not more.

"The ways in which we work are changing more rapidly than ever before and the brain is being subjected to stresses and distractions which can lead to overload and statistics show that distractions in the workplace are on the rise."

The study surveyed 10,000 workers in 17 different countries and found that the top cause of distraction in the workplace is technology. 

But perhaps worst of all, a lack of concentration in the workplace can cause a worker to feel inadequate and diminish his value in the eyes of the employer.

When in fact, they could simply just be a total genius. 

Yep, we'll be more than happy to pass off our procrastination as intelligence in the future.
