Alright, so i know that alot of people i gather don't even bother using the notebook. I play manager games as realistically as possible, as you could tell by me telling you that i watch my fixtures in 'Full Match'. I use the notebook regularly, before each fixture i give myself a review of what tactics to use. I have just started my FM11 career under Huddersfield Town. Played all my friendlies, and i had made this note 3 weeks prior to the opening game agains't Brentford. Then i finished it off on the day when i saw what formation they were going to use and what line-up. I have to go to work now, so having this note saved can tell me what tactics ill be using without having to re-think it through. Things i will add on when it happens, but this is just a simple but effective way to remember your tactics for your fixture. It's supposed to be your notebook that every manager has when they are sitting on the bench during their matches.
Heres the note i made today, which i will check back on after work.

In the note, i have type'd up firstly of what i can expect from them. The first paragraph is what i wrote a few weeks back, when i went into their team and researched some things of my own.
Then the bottom section i went again and had a look, this time knowing the formation that was on their tactics screen is highly likely to be the one that they will field again. So i put my tactics down in which i believe will help me begin the game i want to. I write down my formation, and some general tips to what im going to use for my team philisophy and settings.
The notebook is a real help. You should really use this, it can prove the difference between a win and a loss.
