Numbers warn, they instruct, they inform. They tell us how far we have come and how far we are yet to go. They gauge our performance.

There basically can be no life if numbers are not there. In fact, the only place where you do not need numbers is the grave. We all agree about the importance of numbers in sports, business and school.

I think where the rubber meets the road is when we will start agreeing about numbers in our individual lives. What are our personal stats? If we can answer this question, we are well on the way. Listen to this.

Let me ask you a question. Who out there does not want a sizzling, romantic, rewarding and fulfilling relationship? We are all built to want love and tenderness and care, to feel that we are wanted and needed and appreciated.

However, if we will only transact our relationships based on feelings, woowoo, spirit, romance, lovey-dovey and flowering feelings, that relationship will hit rock bottom faster than a tonne of stone thrown in the sea.

Introducing numbers! Yes, you heard that right. Numbers do not lie, they tell us. Numbers govern even where feelings have stopped...and someone aptly said, "You can act yourself into feeling more than you can feel yourself into acting".

Here is how personal statistics can make a difference in your relationships.

The funny thing is that if I asked people about the numbers of their sports teams, they will give them to me adequately and eloquently. But when I ask them about their own numbers, they will stare blankly at me like a cow on a new gate.

Let's face it: Statistics are a very critical part of life especially in terms of productivity. That is why I am advocating for individuals to start adopting and even having a lifestyle of tracking their personal stats.

We can do this in different areas of life that we want improvement. I can tell you this though: that there is no improvement in life without taking care of numbers. Listen to this.

Numbers literally govern our lives. You can find numbers in everything in life. In fact, if I asked you to think of any area of life that doesn't have numbers in it, you will be hard pressed to come up with any.

Sports fans track their teams numbers. They track the numbers of individual performers. Whenever a record is broken, numbers are always in play. It is a momentous occasion.

I would to God that we would track our individual numbers with the same fanaticism that we do sports and business and government things. When a recession happens, it happens in your house, with your individual numbers.

Here is one of the ways you can track your numbers. Listen to this.

Numbers are a big aspect of life. They help us to measure. They help us to number. They help us to track. If you talk about the performance of sports people, you realize that all of them track their numbers.

Any person that is a stickler for productivity will of necessity be so immersed in their numbers and statistics. Perhaps the greatest thing we can ever do about our productivity is to determine the numbers of it thereof.

This new series covers the importance of numbers in our personal productivity endeavors. Listen to this.
