Does not procrastinate.
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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
That's it for today.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
What are three skills that you would like to have, and why?
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
How long did it take you to get used to your CPAP machine?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
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.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
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.
“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.
Procrastinates a lot.

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

Making more friends is a goal.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month 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.
