Week one of The Great Lock In is officially behind us. If you’ve been on TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen creators committing to this trend: locking in, cutting distractions, and actually showing up for themselves. 


For me, The Great Lock-In feels like a natural extension of my 90 Days to a Better Me challenge from earlier this year. Same energy, different season. Instead of starting from scratch, I decided to build on that foundation and really test how consistent I can be when I stick to the plan.


The Great Lock In of 2025

I eased into the transition, but I stuck closely to my personal “syllabus” — which has been my anchor.


1. Block Schedule – I found a FREE Canva template that turned my scattered to-do lists into a visual schedule. Suddenly, my week had a rhythm. 


2. Personal Syllabus – Yes, like I’m my own professor 😂. I mapped out the “subjects” of my life right now: fitness, finances, writing, healing, and content.


👉 You can grab the exact Canva template I used and my syllabus if you want to try it too.


I created the syllabus to keep me on track during The Great Lock In.

The Wins & the Walls

Win: I stuck to my workout plan and actually felt myself building momentum. My body is sore, but my mind feels sharper. 


Wall: I definitely ate out way too much this week. Convenience won a few too many battles — but noticing the pattern is step one.


Future Focus 🔮✅

* 🥗 Meal prepping so I don’t sabotage my progress with Uber Eats orders.

* 🧹 Decluttering my space (because my environment always reflects my energy).

* 📊 Staying consistent with my block schedule.


The best part of this trend is how collective it feels. It’s not just me grinding away in a corner — it’s thousands of us, in real time, choosing discipline over distraction. 🌍🤝


If you’re also locking in, tell me:

👉 What’s your Week One win?

👉 What wall did you run into?


Drop your answers in the comments — let’s actually use this moment as accountability fuel. 🔥

I focused on personal finance, fitness, and learning the art of homesteading for the Great Lock In!

One win: I set up a syllabus, created a budget, and made it out of the house for a mile-long walk three days this week!!

One wall: I spent a little too much on takeout this week trying to get through work because I spent all of my free time trying to set up for the great lock in instead of meal prepping 😅

I feel like we're in the same boat!! I'm hoping it levels off. No one talks about how much effort the prep work is! We got this!
