9 to 5? Or 5 to 9?
A nine-to-five job is one that you do during normal office hours, for example, a job in a factory or an office. The 5 to 9 in this context refers to life outside work. A product can be only fit into one of the 2 buckets:
- it can be work related: make you more productive, save you time or money etc ....
- it can be focused on personal: it needs to be entertaining and/or needs to make you money
It's very hard/imposible for a product to be both.
PS: Squarespace, used the 5 to 9 as a marketing term for going after hours.

Your 9-to-5 job and your identity
Our greatest sense of purpose or passion does not have to come from our 9-to-5 job. It can, but does not have to.
Sometimes a job is just how we pay our bills, and that is fine. Focus on who you are after your workday is over.
To Sleep Or Not To Sleep
Surviving on a glorified power nap has more to do with genes than motivation. An estimated 5% of the population only needs a few hours to feel refreshed thanks to a rare genetic mutation. Most people need seven to nine hours a night.
Work to learn.
When you actually have a 9-5 job, it is better for you to try and learn as much as you can, not just for the wages that you receive at the end of the month. It's not about money especially if you are young, as the skills you might get are more important than the actual money.
