Do not set goals—set systems.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Saving $10,000 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.
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.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Why do I feel worthless most of the time?
What I need from you?
That's it for today.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).

Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
How did you respond to, "Why do you love me"?
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Does not procrastinate.
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.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Procrastinates a lot.

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Ask yourself:
Making more friends is a goal.

Hangs out with loser friends.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
What is the cost of implementing synchronized traffic lights in a mid-sized city?
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
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.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
“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.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
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.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
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.
