contents It is shown how self-reproduction can be easily avoided in the inflationary universe, even when inflation starts at Planck scales. This is achieved by a simple coupling of the inflaton potential with a mimetic field. In this case, the problem of fine-tuning of the initial conditions does not arise, while eternal inflation and the multiverse with all their widely discussed problems are avoided.
