New year. Fresh start. You're already copying last year's deck.
"I'll just update the headers." File -> Save As -> 2025_version. The cycle begins again.
The Eternal Return
Same deck. Different year in the footer. This is fine.
Promises Made Every January
"This year I'll create a template"
So I don't have to start from scratch
"This year I'll streamline the process"
Maybe automate some of the data collection
"This year I'll push back on deck requests"
Not everything needs a presentation
"This year I'll spend less time on slides"
Focus on actual project work

Frequently Asked Questions
Why January starts with copying (and how to break the cycle)
QWhy do I start every year copying last year's deck?
Because creating a new deck from scratch takes too long, so you "just update the headers" from last year. SlideStrike eliminates this cycle by generating fresh, current decks instantly - no templates to hunt for, no headers to update.
QHow many hours do I waste in January on planning decks?
Most project managers spend 60+ hours in January on planning decks: kickoff, OKRs, budget, roadmap, all-hands. That's an entire work week of January lost to slides instead of actual planning and execution.
QDo I really promise myself "this year will be different" every January?
Yes. Every January you promise to streamline the deck process, create templates, push back on requests. And every January the cycle continues. SlideStrike actually breaks the cycle by removing manual deck work entirely.
QCan SlideStrike make 2025 actually different from 2024?
Yes. Instead of spending January in PowerPoint copying last year's deck, you upload data once and SlideStrike generates all your planning materials instantly. January becomes about execution, not presentation.
QWhat happens when I stop copying last year's deck?
You start fresh. Current data, current priorities, current reality - not recycled slides with updated dates. Your presentations reflect where you actually are, not where you were 12 months ago.
