Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
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.
What I need from you?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Making more friends is a goal.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Hangs out with loser friends.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Do not set goals—set systems.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Which Ayurvedic ritual, dry brushing, oil pulling, or facial massage, do you want to try first?
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Ask yourself:
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Procrastinates a lot.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
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.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Since the Brits can't steer their oil tanker, what makes them think they can take on Russia?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month 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.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
If there exists a “New York of Australia”, is it Sydney or Melbourne?
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.

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.
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.
Does not procrastinate.

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
That's it for today.
