I almost never use clear because i'm afraid if i will need the text later.(just like infinity tab number on firefox)
Use script instead, you can even have it in your .*shrc to run automatically whenever a shell is invoked (make sure to add a check that the shell wasn't invoked by script, so you don't inadvertently forkbomb yourself)
Alternatively, just use Terminator as yout terminal emulator and enable the logger anytime you need it to record the shell session.
Also, use bookmarks. That's what they're there for. 100 tabs is a great way to clutter your brain, but terrible for productivity. If you forget about it after bookmarking, it wasn't important to begin with.
