Hangs out with loser friends.
That's it for today.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Procrastinates a lot.
“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.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
When do you start "growing old"?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
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.

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.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Ask yourself:
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
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.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
What I need from you?

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.
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.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
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.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Making more friends is a goal.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
