Sometimes a long block of text feels like it is taking too much mental energy. We call this a "Thinking Tax." If you find a paragraph that feels too heavy or you just want the "Too Long; Didn't Read" version, you can hover over the empty space at the very bottom of the paragraph. A blue bar will appear. Click this blue drawer to get a quick summary and the context you need to keep moving.
