ADHD affects how we plan, prioritise, switch tasks, and manage working memory, which means even highly capable people end up overwhelmed by digital noise, unclear tasks, and constant interruptions. Microsoft 365 Copilot Agents and Notebooks offer a surprising but powerful solution: they provide structure, support, and automation without adding extra steps or complexity.
In this session, we’ll explore how Copilot Agents can act like a lightweight personal assistant embedded into Outlook, Teams, OneNote, Planner, and the rest of Microsoft 365. You’ll see how Agents can break large, intimidating tasks into achievable steps, automatically generate to‑do lists, remind you what’s next, and summarise emails or meetings so you don’t lose the key points. We’ll also cover how Copilot can reduce decision fatigue by filtering distractions, drafting responses, generating agendas, and updating task status across your apps.
Then we’ll dive into Notebooks — flexible, ADHD‑friendly workspaces where you can capture ideas quickly, organise thinking, create templates, and turn raw notes into structured plans. Notebooks become a personal productivity hub that supports working memory, reduces friction, and keeps everything in one place.
You’ll walk away with practical, real-world prompts for daily routines, meeting prep, information capture, and prioritisation — plus a set of repeatable workflows you can adopt immediately.
Whether you have ADHD yourself, support someone who does, or simply want a calmer, more focused way to work, this session will give you tools that make a meaningful difference.
