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.
Does not procrastinate.
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.
Have you ever been spanked in front of a group of people?
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
“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.

Hangs out with loser friends.
Why can’t the British eat or drink anything unless they place a table cloth on the table first?
Procrastinates a lot.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Do not set goals—set systems.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
