An overflowing inbox hijacks the hour you set aside for your most important work.
An impromptu meeting in your office just canceled your lunch plans with a friend.
The kids come home sick from school and you’ve got to duck out of the office early…. again.
Another family getaway gets postponed because work is "too busy right now"
You might start each day with a plan, a purpose, and the best of intentions – but life has other plans. Before you know it…
Everyone and everything is competing for your time.
Meanwhile the ONE thing… Your ONE thing that could change everything… always takes a backseat to the daily chaos. Always.
(Spoiler: It’s more than just a couple hours each week)
Let’s call it like it is: While you're busy putting out other people's fires, life’s most important moments are slipping away.
And the one that hurts most?
You know exactly what you're capable of creating. You can see it. Feel it. But watching another day end without seeing progress leaves you questioning if your most important goals will always be just out of reach.
That business you want to build? Still sitting in your Notes app and hasn’t been updated in a while.
The moments that matter most - your kid's soccer game, date night, family dinner - blur past while you're stuck on your phone trying to manage it all.
Your confidence takes a hit every time you break another promise to yourself.
“I realized that a lot of my time was being stolen by distraction and unnecessary and unimportant tasks. Even halfway through the program, I got 11 hours of my time back in one week.”

Introducing…
Live Coaching with Jay Papasan & The ONE Thing Coaches
The First Domino is not another productivity course. It’s the powerful pivot you’ve been waiting for – where clarity meets action.
It’s for action-takers who want progress, presence, and impact that matters.
Your Path to Progress
The last thing you need is another course that sits unopened in your digital library. Or another program that drowns you in hours of content you'll get to eventually. You’re already drowning in to-do lists.
We do things differently. Instead of adding to your overwhelm, we start by giving you time back. First step:
Your first week is all about reclaiming 4 hours that are already hiding in your calendar.
Then we show you exactly how to turn those hours into momentum on your most important goals.
No endless videos. No information overload. Just a clear path to progress, starting with these first three weeks:
From Scattered Effort to Focused Impact
Ever wonder how you are always busy, but rarely productive? This week reveals the secret: identifying the ONE action that creates a cascade of results. Stop spreading yourself thin and start creating real momentum.
You'll discover:
The 7 Circles Exercise that reveals what truly moves the needle
How to choose priorities that drive exponential results
The art of saying no to good things so you can say yes to great ones
After this session, you'll have complete clarity on your ONE Thing and the exact path to turn it from a back-burner dream into daily progress.
Protect Your Priorities, Guarantee Your Progress
Having time and knowing your priorities isn't enough - you need a system to protect both. This week shows you exactly how to create an environment that guards your focus and guarantees progress on what matters most.
You'll discover:
The Time Blocking method used by top performers
How to design your environment for focused action
Systems to defend against the Four Thieves of Productivity
After this session, you'll have a bulletproof system that turns your most important work from "someday" into "every day" - with the habits to make it stick.

Co-Author of The ONE Thing, & The Millionaire Real Estate Agent
Co-Creator of The First Domino
Here's what I know to be true:
The gap between knowing what matters most and actually doing something about it... that's where most of us live. I've been there.
For nearly 20 years, I dreamed of writing a book. It wasn't just a casual thought - it was that ONE Thing I knew I wanted to do, that goal that kept whispering "what if?"
But like so many important goals, it stayed in the "someday" column.
I had all the usual reasons: Too busy. Not the right time. Need to handle the urgent stuff first.
Sound familiar?
Then I made a decision that changed everything. I stopped waiting for someday. I made writing my ONE Thing - non-negotiable, protected, prioritized.
The result? I co-authored my first book in 100 days. Over the next decade I co-authored a 11 books that have now sold over 6.6 million, copies worldwide including The ONE Thing which has transformed how people approach their time and goals.
It’s not a productivity app or a new planner that is going to change your life. It’s a fundamental shift in how you approach your time and goals. It's what happens when you stop spreading yourself thin and start focusing on what truly moves the needle forward.
That's exactly why we created The First Domino Program. This isn't theory - it's the exact framework that helped me turn my biggest "someday" goal into reality. The same system that's now helped thousands of professionals create breakthrough results by focusing on what truly moves the needle forward.
In just 9 weeks, you'll get everything you need to turn your ONE Thing from a back-burner dream into daily progress.
If you're ready to stop waiting for someday, join us. Let's make your most important goals non-negotiable.

In today’s world, we know what it means to protect your most valuable resource: time. Whether you’re building a business, leading a team, or pursuing your next big goal, every hour invested needs to create real returns.
We’ve helped thousands of professionals transform their approach to time and priorities, we’re confident we can do the same for you. If you’ve attended the sessions and done all of the work for 14 days and haven’t found at least 4 hours of reclaimed time, simply show us your completed work and we’ll refund your investment.
Why 4 hours? Because that’s the minimum time we know you need to create meaningful progress on your ONE thing. We’re not just promising more time – we’re promising time where it matters most.

We’ve got you covered.
The First Domino Program, Session 2, kicks off April 17th at 3pm CT.
When you enroll, you’ll get early-access to the exclusive bonus material: Goal Setting Mastery and Core Values Foundations. These lessons and exercises are designed to help you get the most out of the program and accelerate your results.
Plan for about 2 hours per week: 60 minutes for our live session every Thursday at 3pm CT and 60 minutes for implementation. While that time isn’t a requirement, it’s important to know that what you put into the group, you get out of the group. We will encourage you throughout the program to apply the work from that week’s session and support each other in the group.
Remember - we'll help you reclaim 4+ hours in your very first week, so you'll actually gain time by participating.
While Jay leads key sessions throughout the program, you'll work primarily with our expert ONE Thing coaches and in your groups. You'll have opportunities for hot seats and Q&A during our live sessions, where you can get direct feedback on your specific challenges.
Life happens - we get it. That's why every session is recorded and made available within 1 business day. You'll never miss a breakthrough moment, and your accountability group helps you stay on track between sessions.
You'll have access to all program materials, tools, and recordings during your 9-week journey. We encourage you to download and save any resources you want to reference later.
If you don't reclaim at least 4 hours in your first week using our framework, we'll refund your entire investment. No questions asked. We're that confident in this system.
Unlike programs that add to your overwhelm, we start by giving you time back. Our first focus is helping you reclaim 4 hours every week. Then we show you exactly how to turn those hours into momentum on your most important goals.
Whether you're building a business, advancing your career, or creating impact in any arena of your life - this program helps you focus on what moves the needle forward. Our framework works for any goal where focused action creates extraordinary results.
You'll be part of a small group where you have access to the private community. We also include 4 bonus Office Hour sessions with the ONE Thing coaches to help you when you get stuck. This combination ensures you get both focused attention and broader network support throughout your journey.
While specific outcomes vary, our members consistently report:
-Reclaiming 4+ hours every week
-Greater clarity on priorities
-Increased momentum on important goals
-More confidence in their decisions
-Better work-life integration
Ask yourself: What would change if you finally focused on your ONE Thing? If you're tired of watching your most important goals stay dreams, if you're ready to stop planning and start progressing - you're ready for this program.
