Seemingly counterintuitive to long-held beliefs about productivity, the notion originated in a Georgia Tech research paper co-authored by the \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/psychology.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003ESchool of Psychology\u0026#39;s \u003C\/a\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.psychology.gatech.edu\/people\/faculty\/407\u0022\u003EEric Schumacher\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;and former graduate student \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/control.gatech.edu\/people\/graduate\/cgodwin\/\u0022\u003EChristine Godwin\u003C\/a\u003E.

Now, mentions of the study on Google search stretch to seven\u0026nbsp;pages. Perhaps the findings are so popular because they\u0026#39;re almost too good to be true. We\u0026#39;d like to believe that we drift off in meetings not because we\u0026#39;re unproductive, but because we\u0026#39;re simply too smart for them. This take on the study by Inc.\u0026nbsp;even\u0026nbsp;suggests that the future of the workplace might see managers scheduling time to stare at walls.
