Procrastinates a lot.

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
“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.

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
