Life is busy and there's just so many things to remember. What tools do you use to help you keep on top of ALL the things?
It's easy to react or respond quickly to messages and the like. It's better to do that mindfully. That's why I try to Practice The Pause.
Windows 11 Copilot runs automatically on your PC, but what's the real cost? Microsoft's built-in AI assistant affects performance, battery life, and privacy in ways most users don't realise.
In this episode, Charly covers:
✅ Resource usage: RAM, battery drain, and background processes
📌 Privacy concerns about what Copilot accesses on your system
🛡️ Performance impact on computers with 8GB RAM or older hardware
✅ When AI assistance helps versus when it gets in your way
📌 How to disable Copilot system-wide if it's not right for you
Charly breaks down the performance tradeoffs, privacy considerations, and reliability issues so you can make an informed choice. This isn't anti-AI—it's about taking control of your system and deciding which tools actually serve your workflow. Includes step-by-step instructions to turn Copilot off.

Setting up auto-replies in M365 sounds easy—until you're on a limited plan like Outlook Online Plan 1. In this episode, Charly shares the surprisingly tricky process he followed to auto-respond only to specific emails (like contact form inquiries), using Power Automate instead of built-in Outlook settings.
📌 You’ll learn:
✅ Why standard M365 plans don’t support filtered auto-replies
✅ How to use Power Automate to trigger responses by subject or sender
✅ What “Reply-To” means and how to use it safely
✅ How to build a smart fallback if the Reply-To address is missing
✅ Why this method works even when basic Outlook settings don’t
🛡️ This one’s a bit technical — but once it’s set up, it works like a charm.
