My system for keeping track of YouTube technical production details (V2)

Over the past year, I've developed a system for keeping track of what equipment I'm using to produce these YouTube videos. 

Right now, I'm trying to learn the core technical aspects of video production, especially sound, lighting, and stabilization. Being able to share videos with other rookie YouTubers and video folk is also great. For that reason, I've developed a few systems for keeping track of the gear I'm using on any particular shoot.

Firstly, I keep an updated inventory in a Google Sheet. This helps me avoid forgetting what microphones I'm using etc. Secondly, I configured a "production notes" section in my channel upload defaults setting which will autopopulate a matrix into each video I upload. As I have this for each video, the spreadsheet comes in really handy. 

Finally, I keep some private playlists where I upload videos to help me look at aspects of my production like new microphones I'm testing or new lights. 

Together, this helps me keep track of the process as I slowly get better at doing this!
