Stop Procrastinating: Deploy Copilot Like Your Business Depends on It

Let’s face it—most of us procrastinate. Especially when it comes to big, transformational projects like deploying Microsoft Copilot. But here’s the truth: the longer you wait, the more time and money you waste. 

According to McKinsey, employees spend nearly 20% of their time searching for information. That’s a full day every week lost to digital disorganization. Copilot can change that—but only if you take the first step. 

Last week, we talked about the organized garage. The retired guy who can fix anything in minutes because he knows where everything is. Your digital workspace should be just as efficient. Copilot thrives in order. It’s not magic—it’s a multiplier. If Teams alone improves collaboration, Copilot supercharges it. 

So how do you get started? 

Think like a farmer. When our barn was overrun with rats, we didn’t wait for a perfect plan. We scheduled a rat-killin’—a no-frills, get-it-done day. We smoked out the rats, cleaned up, and moved on. Your Copilot deployment needs the same energy. Pick a day. Choose a folder structure. Migrate. Done. 

Still stuck? Try Brendon Burchard’s trick: make it public. Tell your team. Set a deadline. Create a reward. Accountability works. 

And don’t focus on the work—focus on the result. A clean, organized digital workspace. Faster access. Smarter insights. Happier employees. 

Next week, we’ll dive into the how-to. But for now, remember: A job once started is half done. So start.
