Section 5.4: Generative AI and Work-Life Balance

Balancing Generative AI and Well-Being in the Workplace

Smart project manager looking at AI chat hologram and wearing headset at modern office. Professional businessman working on augmented reality goggles with blurring background. Technology. Ingenuity.

The professional world is watching how students adapt to digital wellness. Employers value people who can balance productivity with boundaries. Knowing when to say “no” to another GenAI draft and “yes” to a walk outside is part of leadership. 

Scenario

Your internship supervisor asks for a social media content calendar. You use GenAI to generate 20 ideas in 2 minutes. You deliver quickly, impress them, and then—because you saved time—you also take your lunch break. Balanced success = career-ready success.
