The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

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.

Do not set goals—set systems.
That's it for today.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

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.

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.

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
