Do not set goals—set systems.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Saving $10,000 is a goal.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.

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.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).

What I need from you?
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
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.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
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 did you know you weren't the narc?
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Can anyone or anything overthrow your belief in the Jewish God?
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Procrastinates a lot.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
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.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
What kind of book did you write after turning 55?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Does not procrastinate.
Ask yourself:
Making more friends is a goal.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
That's it for today.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
“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.
