What’s one PowerPoint habit that instantly made your presentations better?
I used to think making better presentations meant learning more complicated PowerPoint features.
Turns out, most of the improvements I've made came from doing simpler things.
Less text.
Fewer elements on a slide.
One clear idea instead of trying to explain everything at once.
And probably the biggest one: spending more time deciding what to remove than what to add.
I'm curious what made the biggest difference for other people.
What's one PowerPoint habit, rule, or small change that noticeably improved your presentations?
