How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Do not set goals—set systems.
Ask yourself:
How does Kamala Harris plan to tackle the housing crisis?
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Does not procrastinate.
That's it for today.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
What defines the k'vanna of the Book of בראשית?
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Hangs out with loser friends.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
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.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Procrastinates a lot.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?

“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.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
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.

Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
What I need from you?
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Making more friends is a goal.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
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.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
