Of course you can do this
  git-log <last>..master
or whatever to show all the commits which are included in master but
not in <last>.

Replace <last> with the hex commit id from your piece of paper, and
when you're done write down the commit id of master.  You can also get
git to remember where you got up to by making a local tag with
git-tag.
