I kind of over-thought the issue of keeping records.
I created a database (in Filemaker) that shows most of the relevent
info (date, roll#, frame#, lens, f.stop, etc.) with pop-ups and some
free-form fields. Then I made a layout that showed 5 of these records
(blank) on a single page, printed that and photocopied it. Now I keep
the blanks in the darkroom and write down my printing info on them.
If I ever get ambitious enough, I will finish transcribing them to
the database, which could then be printed out (with the records) as a
record of how I printed.
I was apparently rather bored that day...

I keep a notebook w/excruciatingly precise notes about neg #/image
description w/exposure sequence
Same here - 3x5 index cards transcribed from notes on the
back of the print. Putting the notes on the back in #8B
pencil keeps the notes and prints from getting confused.
As a result I have lots of notes and data for prints I will
probably never print again.
The one image I have been working on for months, when I finally
get it right through exhaustion, has no information whatsoever
written on the back. What I do have on record is 50 ways to do it wrong.
The situation has improved some recently as the timer now stores
the exposure sequence for prints.
