Gen Z’s "Locking In" Obsession: Hustle Culture 2.0 Exposed

📌"Locking In" is the unofficial mantra of Gen Z, but why has this monastic focus become our scripture? It's a rational quest for control, but it's also Hustle Culture 2.0—a new, insidious self-policed grind.

This video decodes the true cost of our obsession. We trace "Locking In" from military jargon to a StudyTok trend, exposing it as a psychological response to unprecedented economic precarity. We reveal the dark side: how focus mutates into toxic productivity, fueling Gen Z burnout at age 25. The solution isn't to stop focusing. It's to master the "Healthy Lock-In" through ultradian rhythms, deliberate defocus, and consciously decoupling self-worth from productivity. Reclaim your focus without self-destruction.
