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.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Making more friends is a goal.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

Does not procrastinate.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Autism and ADHD have distinct brain connectivity signatures, study finds - Medical Xpress
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Non distinctio minus inventore tempora repudiandae mollitia.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
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.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Procrastinates a lot.
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.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
What I need from you?
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
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.
That's it for today.
“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.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
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.
Ask yourself:
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
