Organizing by the numbers....

Organizing is process of being grounded in fun! One way to make this happen is to organize by the numbers. That is, I play a game. The game is called numerology - and while there are many complicated ways to use this system - I like the Louis Hay method. It's basic and easy. I've been using it to order my day for many years now. The book is called: Colors and Numbers and it is available through Amazon. Because I have so many creative projects happening at once - I find this a good way to get a lot of things done.

I use numerology the same way I view my horoscope. If it's good I believe it, if it's not good - I don't believe it! Below is a basic framework that I use to organize my work.

Also, my workweek starts on Sunday and I almost always take Saturday as the Sabbath. This way, I start the week working on my creative projects - and that makes me really happy!

Using my birthday - 5/23 - here is how to figure out your number for any given day. All numbers reduce to a single digit. Using today's date 11/5/2009 - the calculation is below.

Find your year number: 5 + 2+ 3 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 9 = 3 is my year number.
Find your month number by adding your year number plus today's month
(November) 3 + 11 = 14 = 1 +4 = 5.
Find the day by adding your month number to the day: 5 + 5 = 1.

So for ME, November 5 is a 1 - so I'm starting new projects.

Below is a very brief explanation of what the energy of each number symbolizes.

1. Start new projects: (I also use this to mean the start the next phase of a project.)
2. Gather what you need: this goes from the curtain rod you've had on your list for 2 weeks - to getting the sales numbers to complete your budget.
3. Party time! It's a good day to shop, be outgoing and enjoy your self in a group.
4. Errands are good to do on this day. The number stands for stability.
5. Five is the number of change! Do something different - drive to work a different way, walk in the evening instead of the morning, etc. It's an excellent day to promote yourself or your products. Have a garage sale! Give something away.
6. Stay home, gather your friends and fill your day with music!
(it's also the day to pay who you owe ...)
7. Drop the business world. Work with your plants, take long walks or drive in the country. Be alone for part of the day - if not the whole day.
8. Take care of business! Balance your checkbook, read those contracts, make appointments.
9. Finish things up! Volunteer - do something for others (no shopping unless it's a gift).

Yes, I've added the days wrong. Yes, I've done my banking on a number 7 day. The above is just a game - you can play it or not play it. The point is to have an easy framework for taking care of business...

Enjoy!
