I think one of the best things you can do is get a whiteboard/dry erase board in your shop. Just being able to have a quick and easy, reusable writing surface, dedicated spot, not having to look for paper or pencils or anything. Just jot down your notes or measurements, do the math real quick on the board, write some of the measurements down and so on. You can glance over at it and double check a measurement as you set the fence. Very convenient.
