That's it for today.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Making more friends 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.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
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 the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, 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:
Missouri governor signs Chiefs, Royals stadium bill - NBC Sports
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
What I need from you?
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
How did you as a human being change while growing up?
“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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
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.
How can people balance religious beliefs with seeking professional mental health care?
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Living to your full potential is a goal.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Procrastinates a lot.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
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.

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.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Do not set goals—set systems.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Does not procrastinate.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Ask yourself:
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
