First Domino — The Top-Down Goal Structure
2026-06-27·2min read

The Five-Level Structure
First Domino organizes goals across five levels:
- 5-Year Goal — What you truly want
- This Year's Goal — The one thing you need to do this year to reach the 5-year goal
- This Month's Goal — The one thing this month to move toward this year's goal
- This Week's Goal — The one thing this week for this month's goal
- Today's Goal — The one thing to act on right now
Each level serves the one above it. The structure flows from the big picture down to today's concrete action.
Why Connected Goals Matter
Many productivity apps let you create to-do lists, but those tasks often float disconnected from any larger purpose. With First Domino's five-level chain, today's single task is always traceable back to a 5-year aspiration.
The question "why does this matter today?" has an answer built into the app.
Daily Reminder
Your goals are visible every time you open the app. Today's one thing sits prominently on the home screen so it's the first thing you see at launch. This is deliberate — it addresses the common failure mode of setting goals and then forgetting them in the flow of daily life.
