Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
What I need from you?
Procrastinates a lot.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Does not procrastinate.
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.
How do modern fantasy authors approach diversity differently than previous generations?
Making more friends is a goal.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
How is sex with a woman for gay men?
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.
That's it for today.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Is it just me, or do we all hate Sasuke from Naruto?
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Ask yourself:

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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Why do liberals refuse to define what a woman is and what does that mean for the future of feminism?
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Why is there no great temptress figure in any of Tolkien’s major works?
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
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.
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.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
What is BookTok and why is it so popular?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
“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.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
