Ask yourself:
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.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
What I need from you?
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.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
“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.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
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.
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.
Why cant I motivate myself to go to school (grade 10)?
Hangs out with loser friends.
Procrastinates a lot.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
What is the story of how you met your spouse?
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.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Why am I so unproductive when it's a holiday the next day?
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.

Does not procrastinate.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Is the saying "nice guys finish last" true? Can good intentions always lead to positive outcomes?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Making more friends 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:
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
