Write things down!
While you practice, write down your fingerings and phrasings. After a lesson with your teacher, write all information down so you can remember it when you practice. It's even better if you can record your lessons. That way, your teacher won't have to say things over and over again.
You can go too far -I have known people who write every single finger number on top of every single note of everything they play- but writing something down can save you a lot of time, both practicing and during lessons. Just remember to use it for things that are necessary, some people get so carried away with their pencil, ruler, colors and highlighter, that they end up writing more on their music than they do actually playing and practicing. Only write down things so that you can study them more efficiently, having something written down is not the same as being able to play it. You have to practice to do that.
Don't forget to use a pencil, though. If you use pen, your sheet music will end up looking like a big mess.
