Most businesses, and professional organizations encourage (or demand) record keeping. There are page numbered journals with places for witnesses to sign for each page of the notebook. Handwritten is always better. However, it is becoming more common to use computer programs for this. I recently spent (you wouldn't believe it, if I told you) LXXX$ to enable a program to prevent changes to any log entry. Corrections may be made, but only with the log in name of the computer making the changes. Otherwise, it may not be admissible in court. This type of entry may be required for patent work.
I keep records on every client, including anything that comes up in our conversations, such as: political views, birthday, wife & children's names, likes, dislikes, religion, church attended, organization, education, what he understands about our work, and what he needs help with, interests for future work and purchases.
The information is cross checked and referenced in a data base to bring up birthdays and such things to write him about; such as the beginning of duck hunting season, or the trout opener at Bennet Springs.
But, I recently left all my log books at the office for a court appearance because I Knew it would be an opportunity to open a witch hunt. When questioned about the procedure used to arrive at _____. My answer was: Mr. Attorney, you are holding the procedure requirements in your hand which are stipulated by the international professional organization_____. Those are the procedures that were followed.
Now then guys, after this preface; I assume that every girl keeps a log book. If she does not: she has no protection to remember all the necessary facts if she is assaulted, or worse. She has also lost a real treasure about each guy who is a gentlemen who visits her. Such as: how much did he spend, did he tip, does she feel safe with him, what is his likes and dislikes, what did they talk about, etc.
This is a gold mine: if and when the guy calls her again she can act as if she has total recall, and remembers everything about the great experience.
Don't tell me the professional women don't do this.
Then the caution is: some of the girls, or there pimps, keep records for other reasons: they want to know everything about who you really are, your family, your job, and other goodies.
That is why there is no 411 and the hobby only knows me as JR Lawrence, and he died in Nam.

PS. Years ago 1970's when I first used the hobby to have a good companion after my wife died I used Plaza Escorts. I used the same girl for many months and we became good friends. When she retired, and left the hobby, I got a call from a lady who said she was a good friend of xxxxx. After several visits, she told me that xxxxx had sold her her client information book including how to take very special care of me.
Log books have value. Don't tell us that the girls don't keep them. I know two that did.
