In Sum
• Slow down your busy mind to see your problem and goals more clearly.
• Find time alone to see the big picture.
• For greater focus, try turning off the computer and going analog.
• Use paper and pens or a whiteboard to record and sketch out your ideas.
• Key questions: What’s your main (core) point? Why does it matter?
• If your audience remembers only one thing, what should it be?
• Preparing a detailed handout keeps you from feeling compelled to cram everything into your visuals.
