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.
“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.

Losing 20kg is a goal.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.

How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
