Rule of 7

Today, I want to introduce to you the "rule of 7" as I was taught. This stemmed from the endless presentations that I have been seeing of late, with tons and tons of words that make you strain your eyes just to see them.

The "rule of 7" is very simple. If you need to present something, it should have no more than:
- 7 slides
- 7 points per slide
- 7 words per point

While it may not be possible to keep to the rule, what it is actually trying to say is, keep it simple, keep it concise.
