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.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
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.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Making more friends is a goal.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Ask yourself:

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.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Procrastinates a lot.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Does not procrastinate.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) 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.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan 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.
What I need from you?
Do not set goals—set systems.
