The feeling of blossoming when you fall in love actually affects productivity. A study was conducted involving people who had been in a new relationship for six months. This study was conducted by Dr. Henk Ven Steenberg of the Leiden University Institute of Psychology. This study notes that in the early stages of a romantic relationship, the individual's cognitive control declines.⁠ ⁠ The study, published in Science Daily in June 2022, found that the more a person is enveloped in love, the more difficult it is to ignore irrelevant information. The results of this study apply to women and men, meaning that the effect of love is no different. In addition to Van Steenbergen's studies, many previous studies have shown that the ability to ignore disturbing information is necessary to maintain long-term romantic relationships.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #fallinginlove #fallinlove #fellinlove #inlove #beingloved #beloved #love #loveandhappiness #productivity #nonproductive #science⁠
