Procrastinates a lot.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Making more friends is a goal.
What I need from you?
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
“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.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
How do you get a teenage boy to care about hygiene?
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
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.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
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.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
First-round pairings for NASCAR Cup In-Season Challenge are set - NBC Sports
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.

Do not set goals—set systems.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
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.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Why do some people have loving parents and some do not?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Living to your full potential is a goal.
That's it for today.
If there is an abandoned house with no owner, can I live in it?
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.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Ask yourself:
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Does not procrastinate.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
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.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Hangs out with loser friends.
