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.
Making more friends is a goal.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Does not procrastinate.
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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Have you ever accidentally seen your mother-in-law doing something that was private to her?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Why were the Japanese soldiers in WW II so hesitant to surrender in battle?
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.
Saving $10,000 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:

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Losing 20kg is a goal.

Procrastinates a lot.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?

“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.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
What are some fun/kinky things to do with your partner?
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
What I need from you?
Steelers TE wants no part of Jonnu Smith trade - Behind the Steel Curtain
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Yankees Planning To Place Luke Weaver On Injured List - MLB Trade Rumors
Do not set goals—set systems.
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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Ask yourself:
Hangs out with loser friends.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
That's it for today.
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.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
