Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

Procrastinates a lot.

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
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.

If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.

Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Ask yourself:
“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.
Why are people nowadays so into anal sex?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
What happens when you have paranoid schizophrenia?
What I need from you?
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
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.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
That's it for today.
What's the most trivial thing that ever made you go to the doctor?
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.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Does not procrastinate.
Do not set goals—set systems.
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.
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.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
