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.

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

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
