How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Does not procrastinate.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Making more friends is a goal.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
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.
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.

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.).
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
What I need from you?
Which one is better to guys, boobs or butt?
Procrastinates a lot.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
“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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.

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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Ask yourself:
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
