You should have a look at Dror Bar-Natan's academic pensieve. It's a really impressive effort to live in the future -- it's both an electronic record of virtually all his 'jottings', and an entirely public one as well.
I'm a little less futuristic. I scan all of my notebooks as I finish them (using Berkeley's great high speed PDF scanner), and write an extremely rudimentary index to them. I also number every single page that I write (sometimes the sequence is only approximate, when I have geographically separate notebooks, e.g. office and home). It's great to be able to refer consistently to older sets of notes.

Does he write these notes on paper and scan them in, or create them electronically (maybe with a tablet)? Do you know? – Reid Barton Oct 22 at 3:16

They're all done on a tablet. – Scott Morrison♦ Oct 22 at 4:02
