Microsoft 365 Has Tools to Boost Productivity, Simplify Scheduling, and Stay Organized
Think Microsoft 365 is just email, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint? Think again! There’s a lot more packed into your subscription than you might realize.
While most folks stick to the basics, Microsoft 365 has a variety of hidden tools designed to boost productivity, simplify scheduling, and help you stay organized—and chances are, you already have access to them!
- One standout is Copilot, your built-in AI assistant. It can help draft emails, summarize meetings, and even whip up PowerPoint presentations in no time. Think of it as a super-smart intern—minus the coffee breaks.
- Need to keep track of tasks, team projects, or company goals? Give Planner a try. It’s a simple but powerful tool that helps organize work and keep everyone on the same page.
- Tired of all those “What time works for you?” emails? Microsoft Bookings makes scheduling a breeze. It syncs with your Outlook calendar and lets clients or coworkers book time with you directly—no back-and-forth needed.
These are just a few of the hidden gems built into Microsoft 365 that can help you work smarter, not harder. If you’re already using the basics, it might be time to explore what else is at your fingertips. You might just find your new favorite tool!
