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.
Procrastinates a lot.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Should a male with long hair comb his hair daily?
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
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.
Ask yourself:
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.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Making more friends is a goal.

Does not procrastinate.
“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.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
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.

Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

Why do we exist, and why are we conscious?

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

Hangs out with loser friends.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
