How “Locking In” Became Gen Z’s New Hustle Culture

Описание: 🔒“Locking in” used to mean focus. Now, it’s become a lifestyle — and an addiction.
From #StudyTok to #GymTok, Gen Z’s obsession with grinding harder has turned into Hustle Culture 2.0 — a mindset where productivity defines self-worth.

In this GENSHIFT episode, we uncover the psychology behind the “lock-in” phenomenon — how it started as a survival instinct in an unstable world and evolved into toxic perfectionism. You’ll learn why constant focus leads to burnout, and how neuroscience-backed “healthy lock-in” practices can help you perform better without destroying your mental health.

🔥This isn’t about doing less — it’s about doing smarter. It’s time to reclaim your focus, set boundaries, and make rest part of your strategy.
