One way to do this is to have DONE items automatically prompt for a
note.  You enter your text into a buffer and press C-c C-c to finish
the process.  It is very much like `remember'.  If you don't want a
note at all, press C-c C-k instead.  Do this by setting your
`org-todo-keywords' so that the DONE state is defined as "DONE(d@)".
See section 5.3.2 of the manual "Tracking TODO state changes".
