Where can Ukrainians go if they cannot have shelter and heating this winter?

Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Does not procrastinate.

Saving $10,000 is a goal.
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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
How do you feel about Donald Trump signing an executive order that says there are only two genders?
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
“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.

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.

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Ask yourself:
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.
