So, there’s this huge trend blowing up on TikTok right now called “The Great Lock-In.”
It’s kind of like a New Year’s resolution, but instead of waiting until January, the whole idea is: you start right now…with just over 100 days left in 2025. (113 today)
People are using it as a way to shake off the summer slump and really lock in on a goal, a habit, or a project for the last stretch of the year.
Think of it as hyper-focusing for the final hundred-plus days of 2025, and then carrying that momentum into next year.
The fun part is that it doesn’t have to be some big, traditional resolution...people are picking anything from fitness goals to creative projects to personal growth.
A lot of folks are posting about their “lock-in” as a way to stay accountable and even get encouragement from their followers. That’s a great trick because usually we just keep traditional resolutions to ourselves and quietly quit them!
People are comparing it to last year’s “Winter Arc,” “75 Hard,” and all those other self-improvement challenges that pop up online.
But this one feels like the 2025 version: same idea, just rebranded, trending and also consider this your reminder that we are officially near the end of the year!
