Avoids sugar and is very fit.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Making more friends is a goal.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
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.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Ask yourself:
Would you let your partner cheat on you every now and again?
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Losing 20kg is a goal.
How likely is it to make a living out of being a window cleaner in a Nordic country?
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Procrastinates a lot.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
What I need from you?
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Why do guys have better skin than women even though women use more product?
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
“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.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
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.
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.
That's it for today.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Does not procrastinate.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Hangs out with loser friends.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
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.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
