I always record most recent at the top in my notes, with a Ctrl-D to 
timestamp (and sometimes an F4, if I need to remember the time of the 
conversation, call or whatever.  My notes are always in the form:

28/09/2016: Andrey @call - blah, blah, blah.
27/09/2016: eml Andrey - blah, blah
??: @conversation - (can't remember the date of the conversation, but I 
need to make a note)
etc
etc

That way, if I need to remember what happened on a specific date, I can 
just do a search for the date with a colon after it.

Is that best practice? I'm not sure. It's long winded, taking all these 
notes, but I'm pretty forgetful and I work in roles where, just sometimes, 
people might try to tell me I did something or took responsibility for 
something even though I didn't. Full and detailed notes are my 
self-protection.
