I have been writing down the essential aspects of every shot since I first had
a 35mm. From about 1956.  Those notebooks are an indispensable record. I
don't always get every shot recorded at the time - at a  party or such I might
just record date, place, camera, film, lens, general topic, and
leave it at that.
But every film has a number and so does every frame (eventually). The best
shots that go into the computer database use both those numbers to link to
the factual details, and also for the slide hangers in the cabinet where the
film is stored to keep order..

For me it's just a matter of discipline. Not "will I do it this
time?" There's no
question.   Do it.   I also bought a Pearlcorder (1986) thinking
that I'd use it
for instantaneous records for later transcribing. But never have, not even
once. Writing it down on the spot saves double handling.  2c.

Taking your notes on a Palm Pilot will get all the information to
your computer with a simple hot synch.  No transcribing. You are
double handling.
