«Locking in» has become the favorite phrase of Gen Z-ers attempting to give something everything they’ve got. Made famous by LinkedIn Maniacs and Finance Bros, It’s surprisingly still useful for those of us who don’t have a 5-9 before their 9-5s. Locking in means you’re focused, efficient as heck, and ready to get things done at lightning speed. It’s a wonderful feeling. Knowing that you can churn out everything you need to churn out, without any distractions. Locking in makes clocking out that much better. You’ve earned your rest knowing you’ve given it your all. 

Now, using memes to help you lock in might feel counterintuitive, as memes are often ripe distractions from the task at hand, but I don’t see it that way. These memes will make you laugh, which raises your dopamine, which in turn makes you more motivated to do your tasks. How bout that for meme logic? Now, on to the memes.
