Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Making more friends is a goal.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
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):
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
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.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Hangs out with loser friends.

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Ask yourself:
How would you describe modern day Russian society, beyond just politics?
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
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.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.

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.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
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.
How do I deal with my annoying little kids?
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Does not procrastinate.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
“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.
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.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
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.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
