You, in five years

Half a joke. The version of you that figured it out is worth copying too.

Here's the cheeky one that I actually mean. The person you're trying to become already exists in your head. You know how he talks, what he says no to, how he handles a bad day. That's a role model, and the fact that he's you doesn't make him less useful.

So when you're stuck, ask what that version would do, then do that. You close the gap by acting like him before you feel like him.
