Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Making more friends is a goal.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Why did Microsoft acquire LinkedIn?
Does not procrastinate.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
What are some very specific groups of people you just cannot stand?
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
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.
Hangs out with loser friends.
What is a challenge you never want to face?
That's it for today.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
European leaders worry they’re too reliant on U.S. tech - TechCrunch
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.
Ask yourself:
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
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.
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.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

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.
“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.
Procrastinates a lot.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
