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.
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.

Hangs out with loser friends.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
What I need from you?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Making more friends is a goal.

Living to your full potential is a goal.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
What movies and TV shows portray realistic beauty standards?

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?

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.
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.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
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.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Ask yourself:
Procrastinates a lot.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
