Digital Slides Do's and Don'ts

I guess I should have looked more closely to this section. I did my power point early. Then, I read someone else's post and saw they wrote about this same section in the book. I then re-did much of my power point. Now that I read the part about the do's and don'ts, I think I was OK to begin with. Either way, I'm sure I'll get a lot out of watching everyone else's speeches. I am an over thinker and an over doer'. I have spent dozens of hours on this speech to the point where I believe it's going backwards. I did like the examples they have on page 221. I went back and removed some of my bullet points. There were many of them and I think I was still able to get my point across. That way, I was able to make the fonts bigger and easier to read. On page 220, it talks about write your speech THEN do your power point. I kind of did that and kind of not. I wrote then rewrote the speech. Then I started doing the power point. I struggled with concepts and messaging. So, I did all the power point, then worked much of the speech around it. Now that I've gone back and forth so much, I'm not sure where I am. I think a good nights sleep and a fresh look at it in the morning is in order. I'm a wreck and should be on some type of prescription to just not worry about this so much. I feel like I'm back discussing my fears at the beginning of the semester.
