Simple threading technique for Bullet Journal

So you've got multiple pages devoted to one topic strewn about your journal. What's an easy way to keep track of all that? Threading. We're not talking about eyebrow threading here, this is the bullet journal system. The threading technique is a simple way to maintain your bullet journal. By "maintain" I mean keeping your stuff organized, but with as little time and effort as possible. Setting up is one thing, keeping it all organized is another. The Index, the primary way of organizing your entire journal, is meant to help you find what you are looking for in your journal. But having to flip back and forth between your Index and your dispersed content slows you down. Threading solves this problem.

Bullet Journal for the Hard Working Educator

NOTE: the original page linked to from this post disappeared so I've relinked it to the wayback machine at archive.org. Some of you bullet journalers are teachers. That's a lot on your plate. We home school at our house. I help out when the children are struggling with certain things, but mostly my lovely wife handles the curriculum. She's got a ton of stuff to manage. I'm trying to pique her interest in the Bullet Journal method and I think building an amazing example of a teacher's bullet journal may do the trick. So I've been looking for bullet journal ideas related to schooling. For example, on her blog, Jessica Chung has a post describing  16 layouts for educators . Check out this Class Semester for Teachers inspired by Jessica's post. Jessica includes goals, a monthly/weekly outlook, a semester chart, course overview, assignment map, and much more in her journal. She also provides several photos with the explanations. There are some minor...
