Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
“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.

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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.

Ask yourself:
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
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.
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Quitting porn for 30 days 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:
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
