“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.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
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.
I've written three books, but I haven't been able to promote them yet. What should I do?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

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.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Making more friends is a goal.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
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.
That's it for today.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
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.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Ask yourself:
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
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.
Does not procrastinate.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
