There are many ways to deal with this, as others have shown.
I often leave Emacs open on a buffer list to remind myself of what I was
doing. I remap the keys C-x LEFT and C-x RIGHT to shorter combinations
(I use C-4 & C-5). If I know the buffer isn't one of the ones I've used
recently I use C-x b is I know it's name, if not I use C-x C-b. I've
mapped C-x C-b to buffer-menu-other-window. That only changes one thing
compared to the default, it makes the cursor move to the buffer-menu. I
find that useful because the buffer-menu has useful navigation keys.
For example, "1" will make the selected buffer fill the whole frame.
"2" is useful too, do C-h m in a buffer menu and you'll find some useful
keybindings. Like Eli I tend to use tag following when I'm navigating
code.
