The IT BlogHow MS Edge’s Immersive Reader Helps Me Slow DownWe all probably know the drill of a typical workday: back-to-back meetings, side conversations in team chats about some other topics, drafting & scanning emails, creating Jira issues, and juggling multiple project threads. The sheer volume of information coming in such a short time can be challenging.Normally, this isn’t an issue for me. But sometimes I find myself struggling to read long texts in the middle of these high-intensity stretches. Not because I lack the time, but because my mind is already racing ahead to the next thing. I can’t seem to slow it down. This is annoying and, to be honest, a little frightening, because I realise that my mind is in a very short-cycle mode – clear evidence that I’m under stress.Over time, I’ve found a simple trick that helps: Microsoft Edge’s Immersive Reader mode. I don’t just use it to declutter the according web page. I let the browser read the text out loud to me.Yes, that’s right! I hit the play button, lean back, and keep my hands off the mouse and keyboard to avoid getting distracted by other tabs or windows.It forces me to slow down and listen instead of skimming the whole page. It eliminates the temptation to jump between paragraphs or skim entire sections. It enforces a slower pace that I have to accept. At first, it’s a bit of a struggle – but I’ve come to realize: it helps me to calm down a bit.If you ever feel overwhelmed by the sheer speed of work, maybe give it a try. Sometimes, all we need is a different approach to regain control.<a href="https://www.locked.de/how-ms-edges-immersive-reader-helps-me-slow-down/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.locked.de/how-ms-edges-immersive-reader-helps-me-slow-down/</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.locked.de/tag/immersivereader/" target="_blank">#ImmersiveReader</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.locked.de/tag/mentalload/" target="_blank">#MentalLoad</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.locked.de/tag/microsoftedge/" target="_blank">#MicrosoftEdge</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.locked.de/tag/stressrelief/" target="_blank">#StressRelief</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.locked.de/tag/texttospeech/" target="_blank">#TextToSpeech</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.locked.de/tag/workstress/" target="_blank">#WorkStress</a>

AmyFou 🕊️today was a rough one in terms of student disclosures/stresses/issues and some things I can help with but other things I can't. Now I'm home for the day, there's literally nothing I can do, and somehow I have to figure out how to detach enough to be OK myself. It's hard. I absorb. halp?

Keith Bradnam 📈Repost from previous instance…This might seem weird but I keep a daily log of how many emails are in my inbox and how many items are in my ToDo app. Collectively they form my 'Barometer of stress'.This doesn't help me directly reduce the number of emails or ToDo items, but it gives me a chance to step back and realise 'yep this is an abnormally busy time' and that helps me.The big email spike in 2022 was from taking a two-week holiday.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/data" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#data</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/datalogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#datalogging</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/workstress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workstress</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/work" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#work</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/logging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#logging</a>
