Sudden deadline? "How to write a PowerPoint presentation in five minutes."

Okay, say it's Friday. Have you ever found yourself decompressing in true TGIF spirit one minute and scrambling to meet some deadline-from-Hell the next? (Maybe even today?) If that deadline happens to involve a presentation, this tongue-in-cheek video by VideoJug.com, How to write a PowerPoint Presentation in five minutes, assures you that you can pull together your PowerPoint slides in a hurry and make sure they look good. But as for whether the information in them is actually worth seeing--that part's up to you.

When a deadline is breathing down your neck, how do you actually approach it? Where--if anywhere--do you turn for help? 

Assuming you've got more than five minutes of breathing space, check out Shellie Tucker's column, PowerPoint without bullets, and the following sampling on how to make PowerPoint work for you.
