Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide 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.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
That's it for today.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
What should I do? I'm 17 and I'm dating a 23-year-old guy.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
What I need from you?
Avoids sugar and is very fit.

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Hangs out with loser friends.
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.
Do not set goals—set systems.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Making more friends is a goal.
What is a good tool for product analytics besides Google Analytics?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more 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.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Would Donald Trump's reelection make the world more dangerous?
Does not procrastinate.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
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.
Why are white women dating more black guys than ever?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Procrastinates a lot.
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.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Ask yourself:
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
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.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
