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.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Does not procrastinate.

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

Living to your full potential is a goal.
Procrastinates a lot.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Do North Koreans have access to K-Pop?
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

Making more friends is a goal.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
What I need from you?
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

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.
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.
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.
“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.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
That's it for today.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
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.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Hangs out with loser friends.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Ask yourself:
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
