Don't let old habits can slow you down, create unnecessary admin, and make everyday tasks harder than they need to be.
Technology has accelerated faster in the past 18 months than many people realise. AI has reshaped how work gets done, Microsoft 365 has evolved, and productivity expectations have shifted and lifted.
But many of us are still using our tools with habits formed years ago — habits built for a slower pace, older apps, and a very different digital landscape. Those habits can now slow you down, create unnecessary admin, and make everyday tasks harder than they need to be.
If the gap between what your role expects and what your digital capability delivers feels like it’s grown, you’re not imagining it. Now’s the time to give your digital habits a spring clean and ensure they match how Microsoft 365 works today - starting with our helpful list below.
3 ways to improve your digital habits today:
Using Copilot in‑app to speed up everyday tasks is the fastest way to reduce manual workload. You can:
- Generate first drafts
- Rewrite content for clarity
- Summarise long email threads
- Pull out actions from meetings
- Turn rough notes into structured documents
Set up a Copilot agent to organise or monitor workflows.
- Agents can watch a project folder, track customer emails, send daily digests, or keep an eye on deadlines. They reduce admin load and keep you informed without constant checking.
Automate one repetitive task with Power Automate. Start with something small but time-consuming.
- A weekly reminder
- A notification when a file changes
- A simple approval workflow
Even a tiny automation can save hours over a month and reduce cognitive load.
