What is the Great Lock-In?

It's a commitment to use the last three months of the year on purpose. Instead of coasting into the holidays and promising yourself a fresh start in January, you start now.

There's no one-size-fits-all program. You create the rules. Wake up at the same time, move your body, drink your water, save something every paycheck, protect time for your goals. Start small, link each habit to something you already do, and stay consistent.

Consistency is more powerful than intensity.
