Making more friends is a goal.
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.
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.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
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.

Procrastinates a lot.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
What is the most interesting question you can ask to get to know someone?
Hangs out with loser friends.
Do not set goals—set systems.
What I need from you?
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Why is there so much free porn on the internet?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.

Does not procrastinate.

Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Ask yourself:
What are the most common signs that a partner will cheat before it happens?
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Who are your 5 or so favorite Quora people?
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
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.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
That's it for today.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
“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.
