Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month 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.

How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
What is truer than that which is true?
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Ask yourself:
What I need from you?
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Does not procrastinate.
Do you remember one day, you put a deep smile on someone's face and made them very happy?
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.
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.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
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.
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.

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.).
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.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
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.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Do not set goals—set systems.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
