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.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
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.
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.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
What are some disadvantages of living in rural areas? What are the advantages?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Procrastinates a lot.
Ask yourself:
Does not procrastinate.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
“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.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Is anyone else losing complete respect for the US at this point?
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
What should you answer when someone says to you in French, "au plaisir de vous revoir"?

Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
What was something inappropriate a member of your family caught you doing?
Making more friends is a goal.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Will German support for Ukraine decrease after the early elections on February 23, 2025?
That's it for today.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
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.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
