Preparing for a Presentation at Work

Public speaking is a fear of mine. I avoid at all cost! The reason being how difficult it is for me the night before and the day of the presentation. A flood of uncontrollable thoughts fill my mind, causing physical reactions. Good news is it is getting a LOT better for me.

Today I was able to present to an audience of 29 people for about 6 minutes, which was huge for me. Last time I gave a presentation was 1 year ago, 20 mins for an audience of 15. The fear from today's presentation vs my last one has decreased significantly! cbt + anti anxiety medication are my secret.

My other secret is that I use Cursor at work even though it is frowned upon.

Here is some code from dawid.malecki21@gmail.com, enjoy :):

const throttle = (callback: () => void, timeout: number) => {
  let previousCallTimestamp = 0;
  return () => {
    const currentCallTimestamp = new Date().getTime();
    if (currentCallTimestamp - previousCallTimestamp > timeout) {
      previousCallTimestamp = currentCallTimestamp;
      callback();
    }
  };
};
