Does anyone else do this ?

Write down when your fridge and freezer foods need to be used by.

Nope....can't say that I do that....but it might not be a bad idea.

Only for the deep-freeze, not for the ice-box.

Nope

Nope, never done that.

No, I've never done that, I always eat things from the freezer long before they reach expire

I try to eat things before the expiry date,but am not always good at keeping track of that without listing best before/use by dates .

I write down the day I opened something that has a short expiration date "after opening". Such as milk, jam, jogurt etc. Because I never remember when I opened them and while 3-4 days might be save a week is often not, even if the product doesn't seem or smell weird at first glance.

I don't do that with frozen products because in my opinion frozen products don't go bad unless they defrost and get frozen again. I won't be keeping them for years anyway. If something stays a year in my freezer it's either something I don't like or don't need or am afraid to eat so it gets thrown away on the next freezer defrosting.
