An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
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.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Living to your full potential 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.
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.
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.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Why do I feel like something bad is going to happen to me?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
What does it mean for a model to be a "non-chain-of-thought" model?
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Ask yourself:
Procrastinates a lot.

Do not set goals—set systems.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Why would a person who is educated and skillful still find it hard to get a better job?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

Making more friends is a goal.
Are judges being lenient on hard criminals?
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 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
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.
