Making more friends is a goal.
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.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Do flat Earthers really exist? Why do they believe the Earth is flat?
What I need from you?
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.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Living to your full potential is a goal.

Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Do not set goals—set systems.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Does not procrastinate.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
That's it for today.
Ask yourself:

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.

Procrastinates a lot.
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.).
The world needs the United States, but the USA doesn't need the world. Is this true?
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Hangs out with loser friends.

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.
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.
“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.

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
