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!
