Does not procrastinate.
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.
What I need from you?

“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.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
What’s the best way to get over someone you love?
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Ask yourself:
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.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
I’m 17 and looking for a girl. What do I do?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
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 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.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Procrastinates a lot.
Can whey protein cause allergies in people sensitive to milk?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
That's it for today.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Making more friends is a goal.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Quitting porn for 30 days 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.
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.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
