how to make your ppt deck seem like a visit to disneyworld



There was a great story yesterday on NPR about a psychology researcher at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis. Aaron Sackett's research shows that people think they're having more fun if it seems like time is going by faster.

At your next client presentation, let your audience know that you have a twenty minute presentation. Only deliver a ten minute presentation. They'll walk away feeling like that was the most fun they've ever had. Well, maybe not the most fun...but Aaron's study proved that if people actually believe time is moving faster, even the most mundane tasks (and presentations) can seem fun. Interesting.

What happens when someone actually looks at their watch and just thinks you are a moron that went too fast?

oh yeah...I guess this will work better if you collect everyone's cell phones and watches at the beginning of the meeting. ;)

The first thing that you should do is to plan your time needed for assignment writing. This time shouldn’t include any other activities – being on the phone, eating or any other things you like to do to Get Paid To Do Homework Online

I am not sure this is exactly what I need. There is no need for my desk to look like a visit to disneyworld. The only thing I need is some help with writing so I could submit my assignment on time. I think a chance to buy an argumentative essay would be highly appreciated.
