Goal To First Motion
Next Domino turns a loose intention into a clean chain: first move, proof gate, blocker bypass, and the visual brief that makes the outcome feel real.
01
Intake
Name what exists, what proof must exist, and what is blocking motion.
02
Reverse Chain
Work backward from visible proof instead of forward from confusion.
03
First Domino
Choose the smallest action that tips the chain today.
04
Proof
Export the path, proof table, bypasses, and visual prompt.
The Workbench Below
Fill the intake once. The app gives you the finished proof object, the reverse-engineered chain, the micro-step path, and the first action to take before overthinking can get comfortable.
Current First Domino
Draft Notion and write three lines: Finished proof, deadline, and first visible slice. Stop when the first slice has a title.
Output 1
A live 7-day Course Crusher board with prompts, completion badges, before/after examples, and five member proof posts. by Friday 5 PM. It proves "Launch a compact course-completion sprint that helps members finish one module and publish proof of progress" is no longer vague because there is a visible artifact, a pass/fail review gate, and a next handoff.
Output 2
Proof accepted: A live 7-day Course Crusher board with prompts, completion badges, before/after examples, and five member proof posts.
Final gate passed: reviewer can compare the artifact against the definition of done.
Assets assembled using Notion, Circle, Loom, Canva.
Micro-path completed at a steady pace.
Blocker bypassed: The sprint feels too broad, and the proof mechanism is not simple enough for tired members to complete..
Starting point acknowledged: Course content exists, community is warm, but members drift after consuming lessons without producing visible wins..
Output 3
Name the finished proof in one sentence: "A live 7-day Course Crusher board with prompts, completion badges, before/after examples, and five member proof posts.".
Create the proof container in Notion.
List the missing pieces between current state and proof.
Pick the first piece that can be made visible in under 20 minutes.
Build that piece with the smallest usable version as the target.
Attach a proof gate: screenshot, checklist, published link, sent draft, or recorded walkthrough.
Review against the deadline and cut anything that does not help the proof exist.
Ship, share, or archive the proof object where the next person can inspect it.
Output 4
| Verb | Object | Proof |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | proof container | The artifact has a title, deadline, and empty sections for every required output. |
| Extract | missing pieces | Each gap is written as a noun that can be created, checked, or deleted. |
| Build | first visible slice | A reviewer can see progress without needing an explanation. |
| Gate | completion criteria | The pass/fail standard is attached beside the artifact. |
| Publish | finished proof | The proof is available before Friday 5 PM. |
Output 5
Blocker
The sprint feels too broad, and the proof mechanism is not simple enough for tired members to complete.
Bypass
Replace the whole project with the smallest proof object that would make delay embarrassing.
There is one artifact with one owner and one inspection moment.
Blocker
Too many possible next steps
Bypass
Choose the step that creates external evidence fastest.
A screenshot, link, draft, or checklist exists.
Blocker
Energy mismatch
Bypass
Use a steady pass: reduce scope before reducing standards.
The path still reaches the proof gate without heroic effort.
