The domino effect offers another fascinating way to look at productivity. I’m sure you’ve seen a satisfying display of falling dominoes before. But did you know that a domino can knock over another one that’s 50% larger than itself?
Imagine lining up one domino in front of another, each 50% larger than the one before. The first domino is merely 5 centimeters in height (2 inches).
Make a wild guess and let me know: How high do you think the 31st domino will get? What about the 57th?
The answer:
The 31st domino is 914 meters above Mount Everest. The 57th is almost the distance to the moon.
What else, they will both be knocked over by the cumulative force started by the first domino - our 5cm hero.
Mind-blowing, isn’t it? 🤯
We often say “on top of the mountain” when we think of success. We also say “shoot for the moon” when we go for our dream.
It is possible, if you can line up your domino pieces and knock over that first domino.
The full impact of your life’s work lies in its cumulative effect, not a string of random hits standing in silos.
