Ask yourself:
In 5 years, YOU will still be the one making decisions. And if you keep your current habits, "YOU 2.0" will have big problems.

What I need from you?
“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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).

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.
Procrastinates a lot.
Making more friends is a goal.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
