I print off the necessary plates in A5 format and clip it to my A5 kneeboard - I also have every plate available on SkyDemon saved to my iPad, so I can pull them up instantly.
On my Plog sheet, usually underneath, I make two columns - One for Headings, one for Altitudes.
As an example, if ATC say to me "Turn right heading 090 degress and descend to 3000ft" I write 090 in the headings column and 3000 in the altitude column. If they then come back and say "Turn right heading 180 degrees and descend to 2000ft" I simply put a line through the 090 and 3000 and write 180 and 2000 underneath.
Doing it this way, if I get overloaded at any point and have a memory blip, I only need to look at the plog and can see what heading and altitude i'm supposed to be at.
I was also taught to fly approaches on QNH as if you have to declare a missed a approach, the last thing you want to be doing is fiddling with the altimeter.
I hope this helps.
Scott.
