Day Dots ๐ข๐ต๐ฃ๐ ๐ค๐บโซ
Day Dots are a system I was taught for associating the days of the week to color. Each day is written in a particular color. That way it was always possible to identify what day a note was written.
The system since extended into everything. I became really obsessed with time management. One morning I was thinking about what to wear. I was getting ready to pray at the Temple - Shacharit. I cancelled. Instead I went to the pen box and laid down all 7 colors. I then loaded my clothes in a wagon. In Hawaii wagons are part of our shared culture. We all have wagons. We even brought them into the grocery store. Many couples pulled their kids in them. Not typical of the other states.
I began piling my clothes onto the corresponding pen by color. That was the day I became fully color coded. I haven't looked back since. Wow! Life just became so much simpler. It's incredible how much time is wasted just thinking about what to wear. My trauma is inefficiency. I hate it so much!
Here are the Day Dots. The system I use as it was presented to me and is now officially part of GPC.

The logic of the colors has to do with color theory but coincidentally it does tell the story of creation.
1. ๐ข Green is for the earth
2. ๐ต Blue is for the firmament
3. ๐ฃ Purple is for the Passion Flower
4. ๐ Orange is for the sun
5. ๐ค Brown is for excrement
6. ๐บ Pink is for healthy lungs
7. โซ Black is for mourning the Temple
The process of creation began on Day 1. The firmament is the seventh heaven or layer of ice that encompassed the earth. It came down in the flood. The Passion flower is the symbol of the Global Perennial Calendar. The year always starts on a Wednesday because that's when the sun was created. Excrement did not exist until the fifth day when birds and fish were created. Land animals and man was created on the sixth day. In the Temple a giant seven branched menorah existed. The Temple is just a monument of creation.
Exodus 25:32 Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lampstandโthree on one side and three on the other.
In India whenever I presented my system an alternate system was always presented to me. It is amazing that Indians do have a uniform system in their brain, they just don't use it. I believe it is based off the planets.
Now is the appropriate time to explain that I will routinely enable moon phases on the Today page of the Calendar - religious view. I will do this every Wednesday/Fourday because that is when the Sun and the Moon were created. The words Sunday and Monday in English have no real or logical connection to the Sun and the Moon so I just ignore that association.
GPC is my meditation. Being properly grounded in time is so important. The Temple in Jerusalem is rooted in the concept of time management. The only thing more important than knowledge is our associations. All memory is based off association. This is typical Zettlekasten philosophy and the basis of second brain technology.
I hope Day Dots give you greater clarity and help yunz leverage the advantages of GPC. Success is often just superior focus.
