How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Ask yourself:

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
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.
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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Hangs out with loser friends.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
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.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.

“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.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Have you ever had sex with sisters?
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.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Procrastinates a lot.

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
How do you recognize when your mental health might need attention?
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.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Would you let your son wear leggings to school?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).

That's it for today.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Do not set goals—set systems.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
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.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
