A few ideas...

 

At the top of panel three, write HIT LIST. Add your PCs' names below. Update as necessary.

A statement praising the fact 5th edition doesn't have many tables to reference in the course of a typical session

 

More seriously...

 

Leave it as blank space, and attach sticky notes with monster stat blocks you'll be using that session.

Vision and Light descriptions (PHB p.183)

Size categories (p.191) -- though you can fit this in panel 2

List of Actions in Combat (p.192-193) -- sometimes I forget my monsters can dodge, ready, etc. 

List of common ability score Contests and their associated skills

The deity block for your setting in Appendix B

Every house rule you use

Hit dice by size  (p.7 MM) and Encounter Difficulty Tables (DMG Basic Rules p.57) might also be helpful for making random encounters on the fly, too. Happy gaming!

Some of the stuff at the beginning of chapter 8 of the PHB.
