The lesson
Logic Games Habits for Speed and Accuracy says about re-writing rules in visual language: "Write out rules neatly, close to each other,
numbered [emphasis added]."
I have been wondering why JY always numbers his re-written rules. I've not seen any use made of the numbers that helps to answer questions. I can see occasional convenience of reference when, in talking to us watchers of the video explanations, JY deletes or combines or uses a rule. But I'm not as yet seeing a reason for me to number my rules.

Quite often, when I am stuck on a question in LG, or I have arrived at 2 possible answers to a single question (the worst) I have forgotten to apply a rule. Having a checklist in front of me so I can look at my world and say: rule 1-taken care of, rule 2 taken care of, rules 3 taken care of, rule 4 taken care of is a big help to me. I can usually catch the mistake.
Sometimes, I might have a list of 8 rules, because the stimulus contains something akin to "use all" or "each something must have at least one." These I number and add to the list. Now when I draw a world for a complex question I go through and make check marks. If a given world (hypothetical) conforms to all 7-8 rules, I put a star by it. These help me with the rule substitution questions.
I should add in conclusion that if numbering rules doesn't work for you, then dispense of it.
Before 7Sage I didn't number and all I can say is that it has helped me immensely. If you find yourself having to check the rules for questions, your brain will work better/faster when things are ordered/numbered. Not to mention, it literally takes a second.
