Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
What I need from you?
Does not procrastinate.
Can a 40-year-old date a 20-year-old?
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Making more friends is a goal.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
If you caught a shoplifter at your yard sale, how would you handle it?
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
What are the challenges associated with the birth narratives of Jesus?
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
What is a good tool for product analytics besides Google Analytics?
Hangs out with loser friends.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Do not set goals—set systems.
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.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Why was Boromir corrupted by the One Ring, but not Faramir in The Lord of the Rings?
That's it for today.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
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.
What do you say after "Hi" when chatting?
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.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
How do I come out as queer to my best friend in a funny and stupid way?
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Ask yourself:
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Even Captain James T. Kirk was trapped in a woman's body. Don't you think he'd support trans people?
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
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.
Are fanservice-y characters (i.e. Lara Croft, Tifa Lockhart) immediately bad?
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
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.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
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.
