How much time do you spend preparing slides for your presentation?

Question

Hello, PH! Share how much time you spend preparing information and designing slides for your daily presentations.

Alina Valyaeva · Accepted Answer

It really varies. It can take anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes (and more in some cases) to do the research, gather the information, and write the text for a single slide. And it can take anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes (and more if you need to make charts, graphs, etc.) to put it on a slide and polish it.

Depends on the purpose. If it`s an internal presentation for a daily I will not spend much time and effort on it, so it is about 1-1.5 h.
But if it`s a presentation for the client or another type of external presentation I can spend on it from 3 to 10 hours or even more!

@vimal_kutmutia Your presentation looks fantastic! My team and I are preparing to launch a service to speed up your work. According to our calculations, designing the slides takes 1 to 3 minutes. I hope you will try it soon. It will be interesting for us to listen to your feedback :)

I spent nearly 4 days on designing this presentation for myself — tinyurl[dot]com/design-your-way-up

Usually, if the presentation is not very complex, then I can do it myself within a few hours. However, if we are talking about professional material, and I need high-quality business presentation design then I am used to ordering such work from experienced, qualified specialists. It seems to me that this is the best option for me, since I don’t always have enough time to complete such complex work.
