Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Living to your full potential 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.

Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

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.
What I need from you?
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
That's it for today.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
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.
Procrastinates a lot.
