An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
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.

That's it for today.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Ask yourself:
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Do not set goals—set systems.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
How do I convince flat earthers that the earth is round?
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.
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.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

Does not procrastinate.
Making more friends is a goal.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
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.

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
What I need from you?
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
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.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Procrastinates a lot.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
“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.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
