I put everything in one notebook, sequentially, which means I don't worry about organization. But each note, which can be one sentence or a whole page - each note has a unique identifier, like an IP address, which allows me to reference and link notes in a hyperlink-like system. This ability to link eliminates the concern about sequence.
Add to that some simple color coding: green is reading notes, yellow is my journal, blue for scripture, etc., while orange is the hyperlinks, both hyperlink addresses and hyperlinks themselves. A hyperlink is just a number, in a box, and colored, inserted anywhere on the page.
The unique number for each note is just the page number plus the number of note on that page. So note 23.4 (page 23, note 4)might be connected to reading note 76.2. These are highlighted in color so I can see them quickly as I flip back through.
Then a simple table of contents, in front, lets me see in a glance what's on each page.
I should add: the colors are just shading, by colored pencil. So I don't need to fret about colors as I write, I just shade colors when I get around to reviewing. What I carry around is just one notebook and one pen. Simple.
Colored pencils are better than highlighters, since they don't bleed, or go dry, are cheap, and give just enough color as a backdrop to my handwritten note.
