So what the audience of your presentation see is the slide projected in front of them and one by one the slides unfold in front of their eyes as you progress with your presentation. However, what you see on your computer screen is your screen divided into parts – you see the slide itself, the notes in one part, the flow of slides so that your next slide does not come as a surprise to you, and a clock (literally) clearly displaying the time you have spent presenting.
