Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
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.
Does not procrastinate.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Isn’t freedom of speech and expression an absolute right?
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Ask yourself:
What is the difference between heaven and heavens?
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Making more friends 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.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Who is the most trusted person in your life, and do they have the same trust on you?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
What are some important works of Marcel Proust (novelist)?
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
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.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Why am I so tired of the keto diet?
What I need from you?

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:
That's it for today.
What do you think of Obito Uchiha?
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Hangs out with loser friends.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
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.
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.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
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.
Procrastinates a lot.
