Yes, I do. With the scoresheets I use, I will put the time above the timeout number I slash out and the period below. Something like this (I had to use . to represent whitespace between symbols):

215 005
./...\
.2...3


This would be what I'd have to record time outs taken with 2:15 remaining in period 2 and 5 seconds left in period 3 of a four quarter game.

I also use different pen colors for each period and switch the direction of the hash marks ( / & \ ) for each half so I can reconstruct a game from start to finish if needed.

I did start to read off the times taken I had for the time outs I had in question, but it was all for naught.
