Definition of «locked in grindset»
- Description
-
This combines the 'locked in' (intense focus) and 'grindset' (hustle culture) tropes to describe a state of extreme, often satirical, productivity. It is frequently used ironically to describe someone who is taking a trivial task way too seriously or who is ignoring social obligations to pursue a goal. The tone can range from genuine admiration for someone's work ethic to mockery of the 'alpha male' productivity aesthetic.
