Every year we set goals and resolutions . As some statistics says, less than 5 % people will be successful in achieving the goals set OR follow the resolutions for the entire year. How to make this year different ? As the above quote from Einstein says, we cannot expect different results by doing the same thing again and again. So this year you can try DOMINO's theory. Below are the steps
1) List all your goals (Wish list)
2) Shortlist most important goals - Using any of the prioritization tools
3) In the shortlisted goals (Let us say 10 goals) identify Drivers and Driven goals ( Cause and Effect). 3 may be drivers and 7 may be driven. Means -If you focus on these three goals which will drive the rest 7 goals .

4) These drivers are like the first small domono in the Video which requires small push but create a great impact on rest of the dominos (Goals). As you seen in the Video, a small push to this small domino is enough to make an 100 pound domino to fall! OR a 70th Domono which is as tall as Empire square building !
5) Now your focus is only on this first domino. In our case 2-3 goals which drives rest of the goals (Refer the picture on the top). Most critical is your selection of these 2-3 goals or drivers
