Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Procrastinates a lot.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

Making more friends is a goal.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Hangs out with loser friends.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
What I need from you?
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, 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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
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.
