Cutting off WiFi at home for a month or giving your phone to a distant friend for a month (in exchange for a Nokia or simply nothing) is a system.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
