What I need from you?
Losing 20kg is a goal.
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.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Making more friends is a goal.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Ask yourself:

The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Hangs out with loser friends.

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
What should I do if a girl whom I love asks me to be her friend?
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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
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 you share summer photos? Day 8
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
That's it for today.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
“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.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Have you ever followed through being bi-curious?
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Do not set goals—set systems.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Procrastinates a lot.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Does not procrastinate.
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.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
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.
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.
