‘Having it all’ without carrying it all
March 2026
Meet Sarah
Sarah Bhatia is living AI from every angle, literally. She builds AI tools at Slingshot, leads bootcamps, consults with businesses, speaks at conferences and teaches AI in Business Innovation to MBA students at the University of Louisville. But here's the thing: the most powerful example of how she uses AI has nothing to do with work.
When AI Got Personal
During a recent lupus flare, Sarah turned to AI to help manage a serious health condition. She set up a dedicated project space to track her symptoms, research supplements and meals, and organize everything in one place so she could think more clearly during a really hard stretch.
"It works everywhere," she says.
That's not a throwaway line. It's kind of the whole point. AI isn't just a work tool for her. It's how she navigates life during one of the most demanding seasons of it: three young boys, a husband building a business, and a career being reshaped by AI in real time.
How She Runs on AI
Her secret weapon? Getting stuff out of her head and into a tool that can hold it for her.
"I use AI to offload everything I can so that I can actually 'have it all," she says. "My goal is to let AI handle more of the multitasking so that I don't have to."
One workflow she's especially proud of is how she handles meetings and conferences. She uses AI to capture interactions, build out projects, and create outputs in real time. Instead of scrambling to keep up, she stays present and focused while AI does the heavy lifting in the background.
Her #1 AI Hack
Projects. That's it.
Most major AI tools now let you organize your conversations and files into a single dedicated space. Sarah uses this feature for basically everything: work builds, class planning, bootcamp prep, conference talks. She sets up a project for every speaking engagement to organize her research, streamline her thinking, and shape her content.
If you're new to AI, this is a great starting point. Instead of one-off chats that lose context, a project keeps the tool focused on your thing, and the output gets way better because of it.
Her Advice
"Think about your workflow, and then offload it. And don't give up if you don't like your first output!"
She says there's a level of tenacity needed to get real results with AI. Her advice to clients and to anyone starting out is the same: look at the parts of your day that feel the most draining. The tasks on your to-do list that make you groan? Start there. That's where AI can make the biggest difference.
