Hondo, You're welcome.

Fortunately, today's digital cameras keep a fair amount of notes in the exif file. However, notes about your thoughts on the subject, observation near to, but not in the photograph, etc. are also very important. My approach has always been to note my feelings about the subject, it's mood, how I want to portray the scene, etc. That can assist during post processing. Additionally, I usually have a reason for everything I do in the process. Why this f-stop, why this shutter speed, why this filter, etc. This comes from previsualizing the photograph I'm about to take and determining what I need to do to get that final image.

It may sound complicated, or frivolous, but working at it a little at a time, each step becomes a habit you've trained yourself to take. Eventually, you can glance at a scene and immediately know how your photograph will look and what it will take to accomplish that.
