This is oddly on topic for the last few items.

I watch what I was doing when by adding an inactive timestamp into my
outline in place with my notes each time I come back to them.

I also use the clock, but only to track billable hours.

When I want to see what I was doing when, I use the agenda, log mode
"L", and enable inactive timestamps "[".

I don't like intermixing notes in the property drawer, I see that as
metadata storage only. Notes are content.
