The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
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.
Does not procrastinate.

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.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Do not set goals—set systems.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Making more friends is a goal.

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
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.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
What I need from you?
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Procrastinates a lot.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
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.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
“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.

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Ask yourself:
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
That's it for today.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
