I have a really big corncob pipe and before each turn I recite " I have returned!"
But seriously, I do keep plenty of notes on several tablets I keep on my desk. Sure have gone through plenty of pencils.[;)]
Sometimes I read the AARs to help me set the mood.

Bah - wimps! i break the water pipes in the wall and set the room on fire whenever i lose a ship!! [:'(]

it does tend to breed a sense of caution... [8|] [:D]

I have multiple spreadsheets, notebooks, and word documents with notes on troops, planes, etc. available. I set up OOB charts tracking which divisions are under which Corps/Army HQ. I also have another set for Japanese production. I track some other information (upgrades, etc.) in WitP Decoder. I printed out a large version of the map (24" x 36") but I don't have the room to hang it up yet.

What I really want with my next computer upgrade (soon hopefully) is dual monitors so I can have WitP open on one screen, and Excel/Word open on the other. That should make taking notes a lot easier. My computer desk isn't really big enough to put my laptop and my desktop on (my current "dual monitor" solution).

Dual monitors is the way to play.... then you can have as much, or as little electronic notes open at the same time. My problem, with four games on the go at once, is ever finding the time to think in any depth on what's going on - there's normally another turn arriving.

I have two monitors, but have never been able to get WiTP to behave properly so that I could do as you are suggesting. In full screen mode it blanks monitor #2, and in Windowed mode map scrolling does not work. If you know how to make this work, I'll....um... [&o][&o]

I seriously believe machine/operating system differences account for much of the strange WitP behavior.

As far as making the game more personally realistic, I have been keeping tabs on my esteemed opponents movements with hopes of pulling off an interception/assassination when the chance occurs...

Alt-Tab works in WITP, if you are careful. Don't Alt-Tab out if you have any info boxes up on the screen as everything else will be garbled after you return to WITP (until you close that  info box). I would say NEVER Alt-tab out of the game while it is processing a turn. If we're telling each other not to hit the escape key for fear of causing synch problems, Alt-tabbing would be  even worse.
