Don't use an sms/voice phone number as part of your 2-step verification in Google.

I have no idea what month and year I created my google account, and google doesn't seem to make that info available to you in a simple manner.

Depending on the value of your accounts, you give a (physical) attacker everything he or she needs to compromise you. If you are going to keep these things on your person, consider protecting them with a hand-written cipher.
