What I need from you?
Saving $10,000 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.
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)?
Living to your full potential is a goal.
What does it mean if someone asks if it’s pink?
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.

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 the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
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.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
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.
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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
That's it for today.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Who is the most annoying character in the Office?
Procrastinates a lot.
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.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
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.
Teens like me, what are your expectations when entering adulthood?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Does not procrastinate.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
What was your most memorable experience catching a fraudulent car seller?
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Is there anything you did that you regret? If so, what is it, and why?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Making more friends is a goal.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Ask yourself:
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
“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.
What happens when you have paranoid schizophrenia?
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.
Hangs out with loser friends.
