The 9–5 mindset is dying

Vallabh Chitnis - IntuiWell - The 9–5 mindset is dying

Are you working or just serving time? The 9–5 mindset is dying.

Work isn’t about hours. It’s about how fast and how well you solve problems.

If balance means:

  • clock in, clock out
  • weekends “off by default”
  • shutting down at 5 regardless…

Then you’re not balanced. You’re becoming replaceable.

AI doesn’t care about your calendar.
Global competition doesn’t care about your weekends.
Only one thing matters: Can you solve problems efficiently?

Quick self-check:

  • Do you measure hours, not outcomes?
  • Do you wait for instructions instead of owning the task?
  • Do you secretly hope your job never changes?

If yes, you’re on the path to mediocrity.
And mediocrity has an expiry date.

The shift is simple:

  • Deliver value, not just time.
  • Take ownership before it’s assigned.
  • Redefine balance as growth + energy, not just “days off.”

Stop watching the clock.
Start solving problems.

Because in the future of work… time-keepers vanish, problem-solvers thrive.

If this triggered you, it means you’re ready to move from time-keeper to problem-solver.

That’s exactly what we help professionals build at IntuiWell’s Personal Growth Program → practical tools to grow resilience, ownership, and problem-solving skills that future-proof your career.
