What I need from you?
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
How do I build rapport with anybody?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Making more friends is a goal.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
What is your secret to glowing skin?
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
What is your most intimate experience with your best friend?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
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.
What are some things that children used to wait for, but are no longer common in today's society?
“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.
Living to your full potential 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.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Do you consider masturbating to porn cheating if you are married?
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.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Why did the Soviet Jews hate the Soviet Union?
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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
What is every dictators biggest fear?
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Hangs out with loser friends.
What are some effective strategies for getting more upvotes on Quora?
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Does not procrastinate.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
That's it for today.
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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Procrastinates a lot.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Ask yourself:
