Power of the index cards:

 

Power of the index cards:

I first read about the index card in a book on presentation skill…

I forget the name of the book ; This book was about the use of the 3-act play to create presentations;

RobertMcKee - the hollywood playright is a king on this concept;

3-act play consists of act-I , act-II , act- III

• Act- I is the opening ,setting
• Act-II : the body :
• Act-III : the closure;

 So the author asks to construct the presentation in the above manner ;

And the main themes or bylines to be recorded in the index cards;

 And then once all cards are done : 

you shuffle the cards ; literally - to determine the sequences;

 Many of my speeches in Toastmasters  are ordered this way;

 I write and write and write

Like a story ; and then perfect it; perfect it ; perfect it;

Linking the opening to the conclusion;

To deliver speech in a matter of 7 minutes;

 is it not?

Coming back to the index cards , Ryan Holiday has written an article on itself;

 In my MBA , I used to use the flashcards - a version on Index cards for revising subjects 

using the GoConqr app;

It worked perfect and well!
