I think the breakdown by decade is a good idea, and obviously keeping a bibliography is key.
You can also keep a journal of what you are working on in case you remember something important but didn't save it, then you can cross-reference calendars and journals to track down the source again.
That's a good tip - so far what I've done is I have this note in Zotero of "Things to enter into bibliography".
The way I keep track of information source is that every sentence I write has atleast one source. This is probably a bad way to do things as I now have 180 footnotes and I'm not nearly done with the first decade.
