The Great Lock-in is shaping up to be this season's most contagious trend

- By ANJALI AWASTHI

As the year winds down and party invites start flooding in, a different kind of movement is gaining traction—one that swaps nightlife for laser focus.

Enter The Great Lock-in, the latest trend taking over social media feeds and self-improvement circles alike. Designed for those who want to end the year strong rather than coast to the finish line, it's all about channeling discipline, momentum, and purpose.

In essence, the Great Lock-in is a commitment to focus-using the final stretch of the year to double down on your goals instead of waiting for January to start fresh. Whether it's paring for exams, building a new habit, mastering a skill, or dedicating time to reflect and create, participants are "locking in" their attention to finish the year with clarity and drive.
