Before I moved a couple of summers ago, I found notepads from 2002-2003, where I was weighing how good Corey Patterson and Juan Cruz really were going to be.....Even 10+ years later, when I saw the notepads, it drew me back, and I remember what I was thinking....I remember trading for Alfonso Soriano in 2006, and then offering him a massive contract, and watching him sign with Cleveland....only to see him really sign with the Cubs...
I'm not saying keep the notes forever, but when I'm deep in "OOTP mode", I'll peruse the notepad a couple of times a day, and it'll start me thinking about the SS I'm looking at in the draft, or who I really want to package for that 3rd starter that I need.
Really, whatever works for you, so you can take a little bit of the game, and enjoy it when you aren't sitting at the computer...
Cheers and good luck!

I don't do it much for OOTP, but taking notes is a great idea. I totally understand the reading something and then 5 minutes later forgetting what I read thing, but taking notes really helps me get around that problem. And like Nero, if I take a note and then look at it years later I'll somehow remember more than even what I wrote or typed.
I'm a big fan of
Evernote (it's free) in that you can sync it with your computer and your phone, organize notes with notebooks and tags, and search everything so easily. I use it for everything. Just try it, it will most likely help.
