Since tech debt is very difficult to avoid, our team found that it is important to document every cut corner and every tetris block that does not quite fit. We do that in our issue tracking software. So technical debt is documented in issues/tasks/workitems that are labeled "tech debt" so it becomes visible for us and the business end of the application.

This is a great approach! We try to do the same but it's hard to stick with it.
