Persona + Journey Map (Team Badger, AI Usage)

This is Greg – the tired student. Greg is the most typical Stanford student you’d see around — we’re all Greg, in our hearts — but Greg has it real bad. Unfortunately for Greg, he is at his core a very high achieving, successful CS student, but life circumstances has got him down! He needs AI because he has yet again planned his quarter for his best version of himself: going to the gym every day, sleeping early, finishing work early. 22 units? I got into Stanford — I can do it! But he can barely make it through each day without falling asleep. AI makes sure that even though he’s so tired, he can still succeed. But because AI exists, he’s even more inclined to procrastinate, believing that he can get every Pset done in “just a couple hours.” This isn’t the college experience he was promised. But maybe, at the end of the day, that’s what Greg wanted a little bit: he wanted to prove to himself that he can do it. He still can. He still can.

Drawing	Name	Greg
	Activated Role	Tired student
	Goal	I want to GET MY STUFF DONE! (at all costs)
	Motivation	Because I want to just go to sleep… I’m so tired all the time.
	Conflict	I have way too much work to get done in a reasonable amount of time… I’ve enrolled in 22 units again, thinking that, maybe, this time it would be different… I take too much on, and this is the price I have to pay
	Attempts to Solve	I’ve tried using AI — of course — I’ve tried too many paid productivity tools, like planners (which never end up working), I’ve tried staying up more to finish things, but it never ends up panning out, and just makes things work.
	Setting/ Environment	My dreary, sad, bare dorm room. I don’t decorate — who do you think I am? You think I have time for that? Also, occasionally, CODA.
	Tools	ChatGPT is my best friend. Back in the day I used Chegg… I tried using blockers (for Instagram, etc.) but I just end up uninstalling them. My Google calendar is a nightmare.
	Skills	I’m good at the last-minute P-Set: it’s my specialty. I know everything about the various AI tools and what they’re good for.
	More	This is how it goes: I sleep late, which means I wake up late. I’m groggy — chug coffee (doesn’t work) — and then I get to working. I work all day, but because I’m so sleepy and exhausted, I can’t finish my work early; I get so distracted by things like Reddit or Instagram. This means I stay up late for that 11:59 pm deadline — which cascades the problem.
