How do you plan presentation timing? E.g. if you’re given a certain amount of time to present - is there a good hack to figuring out how many slides / words to prep?

Nah don’t listen to Vmly.

You’re looking at it the wrong way.

I think I’ve presented 140 slides in 20 minutes.

I’ve also presented one slide for 20 minutes.

There’s no magic rule. It just depends on what you need to communicate and the nature of your message or argument.

Figure out how to explain what you need to explain in the time you have. Make an outline. Then play with slides that help you communicate.

Slides are just an aid. You’re the one talking.
