Does not procrastinate.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Why am I so afraid that gun owners have set traps to kill me outside my house or my car?
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

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.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
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.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Procrastinates a lot.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Making more friends is a goal.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
What I need from you?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
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.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Do not set goals—set systems.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
“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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
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.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Hangs out with loser friends.
