One way of doing this is to take a sheet of paper and<strong> sketch out your slides in sequence<\/strong>, making a note of the maximum presentation time you anticipate for each slide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This helps you see which slides are essential, and which can be left out.\u00a0 You should end up with a coherent narrative line, where each slide adds to your argument.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_e70d73-d3 .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_e70d73-d3 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-_e70d73-d3\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-_d0cd28-94\"><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/zeitmanagment_scribble1-klein-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Managing time in presentations perfectly\" class=\"wp-image-31908\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/zeitmanagment_scribble1-klein-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/zeitmanagment_scribble1-klein-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/zeitmanagment_scribble1-klein-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/zeitmanagment_scribble1-klein.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_c1f58b-fe .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_c1f58b-fe .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-_c1f58b-fe\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much speaking time should you allow per slide?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be great if we could <strong>calculate the speaking time per slide<\/strong>, adding up to the time you\u2019re allowed for your presentation, thus solving the problem of time management. Unfortunately, there aren\u2019t any hard and fast rules. The approximate speaking time per slide depends on the content of that slide and your presentation topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a rule, however, aim to speak for <strong>no more than 3-4 minutes per slide. <\/strong>In general, keep it shorter rather than too long &#8211; this keeps your audience attentive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonus tip: Keep in mind that your presentation will almost always take longer than when you rehearse it at home beforehand. This is because you are interacting with the audience and follow-up questions are asked. Allow about<strong> 20%-40% more time<\/strong> for the actual presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #2: Look at your subject from an outsider\u2019s perspective, and present it accordingly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Think like an outsider. Instead of considering the individual points of your presentation from your own point of view,<strong> imagine how long it would take someone without your prior knowledge and background to understand them<\/strong>. Use the latter times as a guide. This way you allow as much room as possible for questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know yourself and your strengths best. When is your energy level at its highest? Do you start strong or do you need a few minutes to get into flow? Tailor your presentation accordingly. Who is your audience and where are you going to give your presentation? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are presenting on the evening of the last day of a conference, for example, you need to be prepared for a tired audience. If you are introducing a conference, you may need to clarify terms first. <strong>Also, plan your presentation time carefully in light of your surroundings. T<\/strong>hat way, you won&#8217;t run out of time or breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a general rule, make sure you<strong> meet the needs of your audience<\/strong>. Ask yourself what points you really want to include in your presentation to get your core message across. You can find further tips in our short article &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/audiences-needs-presentations\/\">Focus on audience&#8217;s needs<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #3: Use PowerPoint Speaker View<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another simple trick you can use to keep your presentation time is the <strong>PowerPoint Speaker View. <\/strong>This handy PowerPoint feature offers lots of helpful options. For example, you could set it to <strong>show the next slide<\/strong> along in your presentation, or <strong>display notes <\/strong>that only you, and not your audience, can see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A really useful feature here is the timer. It shows how much time of your presentation has already passed, allowing you to keep the presentation on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We go through how to set the timer in our article &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/powerpoint-presenter-view-tips-tricks\/\">PowerPoint Presenter View&#8221;<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #4: Use shortcuts for PowerPoint for managing time better!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the right<strong> keyboard shortcuts,<\/strong> you can save a lot of time, whether in PowerPoint presentations or generally when working on the computer. The best thing is:<strong> they are easy to learn and work on every computer!<\/strong> You can find out exactly which shortcuts there are and how to get the most out of working with shortcuts in our blog post on &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/work-efficiently-powerpoint-keyboard-shortcuts\/\">Shortcuts<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the help of shortcuts, you can <strong>work much more efficiently in the future and invest more time in presenting itself<\/strong>. Not only you, but also your audience will thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extra Tip: Use add-ins from PresentationLoad!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our customers often ask whether there is an add-in available that makes it possible to <strong>display time periods, countdowns or the current time in presentations<\/strong>. We listened, and developed such an add-in ourselves!<br><br><strong>With the help of our revolutionary time presentation tool, you can now incorporate time management and efficiency into your next presentation in a professional way.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until now, the only way to get an overview of time in PowerPoint presentations was to use PowerPoint Speaker View. Unfortunately, this function is only visible to the presenter. That&#8217;s why our new <strong>Dynamic Time Add-In<\/strong> tool equips your current PowerPoint version with the features needed to show time, date and time periods in the way that best suits your presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The add-in is compatible with:<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_61ff77-af:not(.this-stops-third-party-issues){margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_61ff77-af ul.kt-svg-icon-list:not(.this-prevents-issues):not(.this-stops-third-party-issues):not(.tijsloc){margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_61ff77-af ul.kt-svg-icon-list{grid-row-gap:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-iconlist.kt-svg-icon-list-items_61ff77-af ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap .kt-svg-icon-list-single{margin-right:10px;}.kt-svg-icon-list-items_61ff77-af ul.kt-svg-icon-list .kt-svg-icon-list-level-0 .kt-svg-icon-list-single svg{font-size:20px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-iconlist kt-svg-icon-list-items kt-svg-icon-list-items_61ff77-af kt-svg-icon-list-columns-1 alignnone\"><ul class=\"kt-svg-icon-list\"><style>.kt-svg-icon-list-item-_058913-ca .kt-svg-icon-list-single{font-size:8px !important;}.kt-svg-icon-list-item-_058913-ca .kt-svg-icon-list-text mark.kt-highlight{background-color:unset;font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_058913-ca\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-ic_record kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 8 8\"  fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M3 0c-1.66 0-3 1.34-3 3s1.34 3 3 3 3-1.34 3-3-1.34-3-3-3z\" transform=\"translate(1 1)\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\">Microsoft Office 2010 (32bit &amp; 64bit)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n<style>.kt-svg-icon-list-item-_c243d1-4a .kt-svg-icon-list-single{font-size:8px !important;}.kt-svg-icon-list-item-_c243d1-4a .kt-svg-icon-list-text mark.kt-highlight{background-color:unset;font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_c243d1-4a\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-ic_record kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 8 8\"  fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M3 0c-1.66 0-3 1.34-3 3s1.34 3 3 3 3-1.34 3-3-1.34-3-3-3z\" transform=\"translate(1 1)\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\">Microsoft Office 2013 (32bit &amp; 64bit)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n<style>.kt-svg-icon-list-item-_ce231e-1a .kt-svg-icon-list-single{font-size:8px !important;}.kt-svg-icon-list-item-_ce231e-1a .kt-svg-icon-list-text mark.kt-highlight{background-color:unset;font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_ce231e-1a\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-ic_record kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 8 8\"  fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M3 0c-1.66 0-3 1.34-3 3s1.34 3 3 3 3-1.34 3-3-1.34-3-3-3z\" transform=\"translate(1 1)\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\">Windows 7 (32bit &amp; 64bit)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n<style>.kt-svg-icon-list-item-_864988-5b .kt-svg-icon-list-single{font-size:8px !important;}.kt-svg-icon-list-item-_864988-5b .kt-svg-icon-list-text mark.kt-highlight{background-color:unset;font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<li class=\"wp-block-kadence-listitem kt-svg-icon-list-item-wrap kt-svg-icon-list-item-_864988-5b\"><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-ic_record kt-svg-icon-list-single\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 8 8\"  fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M3 0c-1.66 0-3 1.34-3 3s1.34 3 3 3 3-1.34 3-3-1.34-3-3-3z\" transform=\"translate(1 1)\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"kt-svg-icon-list-text\">Windows 8.1 (32bit &amp; 64bit)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Four for one: time, date, counter and countdown<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it\u2019s a presentation, a lecture, self-running info screens, or trade fair presentations, showing the time, whether faded in or as a countdown, can be a <strong>great tool<\/strong>.
