First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Porn blockers might help, but they won’t be as effective. And you know nudity isn’t just on Pornhub—it’s everywhere. Don’t joke with fire.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Cutting off WiFi at home for a month or giving your phone to a distant friend for a month (in exchange for a Nokia or simply nothing) is a system.
Procrastinates a lot.

Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Apple details the end of Intel Mac support and a phaseout for Rosetta 2 - Ars Technica
Does not procrastinate.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Ask yourself:
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Keep in mind that, there is always a system for any problem. You just need to be willing to think hard enough and BE WILLING TO MAKE SACRIFICES.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Making more friends is a goal.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
“YOU 2.0” is like your future kid. It’s your duty to make decisions for him. It is wiser to marry a nice mom for your kid, not just a beautiful wife for yourself.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
That's it for today.
PICK 1 important thing you want to quit or bring into your life in 2025. Think hard about a system that will make it impossible or inevitable.
In 5 years, YOU will still be the one making decisions. And if you keep your current habits, "YOU 2.0" will have big problems.
