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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
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.
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.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Which screenshot of Hollywood can get 1002 upvotes?
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
That's it for today.
What I need from you?
What was your first trans experience like?
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
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.

Losing 20kg is a goal.
Procrastinates a lot.
“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.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Making more friends is a goal.
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.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
What is your opinion on the band Nickelback? Why do they receive criticism from some people?
Ask yourself:
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
What life lesson did you learn the hard way?
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Does not procrastinate.
