Ask yourself:
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?

If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
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.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
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.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.

The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
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.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
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.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
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.
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.
Making more friends is a goal.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
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?
Do not set goals—set systems.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
“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.
Procrastinates a lot.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
That's it for today.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
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.
