The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
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 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.

Why do people stop working towards achieving their dreams?
Ask yourself:
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
“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.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Living to your full potential is a goal.
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):
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Hangs out with loser friends.
That's it for today.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
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.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
