Yeah, and beyond just remembering the numbers, keeping a log made me actually slow down and check each step. For instance, I once caught a cross-thread starting because I was following the log and had to confirm the value. It's like the physical act of writing it forces a pause that pure memory doesn't. In a shop with multiple guys, that logbook became the source of truth when questions came up weeks later. Saved us from arguing over who did what or what spec was used last time.
