How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Why are people of mixed race seen as more attractive than non-mixed-race people?
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
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.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Why do a bra and panties have to match?
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Making more friends is a goal.

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
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.
“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.

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
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.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
What are effective strategies to build a referral network for BPO projects?
Does not procrastinate.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Hangs out with loser friends.
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.
Procrastinates a lot.
That's it for today.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Ask yourself:
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
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.
What I need from you?
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
