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

How does a man look at you when he is in love?
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Ask yourself:
Making more friends is a goal.
Does not procrastinate.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
“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.
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.
