Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
What did someone say to you that instantly made you realize their life was in danger?
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
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.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
That's it for today.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
What would be the lowest score with 9 strikes and no gutter balls?
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.
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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Making more friends is a goal.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
What caused the stock market to crash?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
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.
Living to your full potential is a goal.

Do not set goals—set systems.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Ask yourself:
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

Procrastinates a lot.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Why do some people have sex with dogs?
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
What I need from you?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
“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.
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.
