How can I number my notes in text edit?

You can’t do this with Text Edit. But you can with an app like Omni Outliner

Certainly you can do that in TextEdit. You can create a list using Format > Text > List...

But an easier way, create a list on the fly by hitting Option-Tab. This will start a list using "-" as bullets. You can change the format (e.g. to a numbered list) anytime by Control-click/Right-click on any list item and selecting "List..."

End a list with double return; start a sub-list (indented) with tab at the beginning of a new line; out-dent with shift-tab.

Certainly you can do that in TextEdit. You can create a list using Format > Text > List...

You’re dead right! Another thing I’ve learned today...

Thanks for the correction.

You can even do this using the Stickies application. (Applications/Stickies)

Creating a list in a sticky note
You can quickly create a list of bulleted items, and then change the formatting of the bullets to other characters, such as diamonds or numbers.

To create a list:
Press Option-Tab to create a bulleted list item.
To create a list item on the next line, press Return once.
To create a paragraph without a bullet, press Return twice.
