An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
What is a good habit and what is bad one?
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Heavily shorted AI stock is rapidly climbing the Fortune 500 - TheStreet
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

Paying a coach with a detailed plan 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.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.

Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
What I need from you?
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.
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.
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.
If freedom of speech is absolute, how come it's not applied for private spaces and for the Internet?
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Procrastinates a lot.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
What’s something you did a lot as a kid that you don’t miss now that you’re an adult?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Making more friends is a goal.
Why am I so jealous towards couples? Why am I tired of being single and feel my life is over?
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
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.
Can I use the LEG PRESS to build muscle?
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.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Ask yourself:
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
That's it for today.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Does not procrastinate.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Hangs out with loser friends.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
