First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
What thing happened to you as a child that you haven’t let go of to this day?
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.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.

Does not procrastinate.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
