If you've been on TikTok or Instagram lately, you've probably seen everyone talking about The Great Lock In 2026. It's the continuation of 2025's viral self-improvement trend where people commit to extreme focus, discipline, and leveling up their lives.
But here's the truth: saying "I'm locking in" is easy. Actually doing it? That's where most people fail.
Especially when it comes to studying.
Why Most Students Fail to Lock In
The Great Lock In mindset is all about eliminating distractions and maximizing output. But traditional study methods don't support that:
- You spend hours re-reading notes that don't stick
- You make flashcards manually — and never finish
- You highlight everything, which means you remember nothing
- You have no way to test yourself efficiently
If your study tools are slow, your lock in will be slow. You need a system that matches your ambition.
