Does anyone watch The Book Show on Sky Arts? Can't remember what day it's on, but they do a nice segment where they get authors to take the crew round the place where they do their writing at home. They talk about their process, what inspires them, and what their work habits are, etc. It's often really interesting.
Anyhow, one of the writers, whose name I cannot remember, advised all writers to keep a copy of their manuscript that they are working on in the fridge. Apparently if your house burns down the only items that are a dead cert to survive are the items in your fridge. So whilst your hard drive melts you know there's a copy safely tucked away with your lettuce and moldy half eaten banana.
Just a thought

I would think this would work well to remind you to work on your manuscript as well (if it's not complete). You go to get out left over casserole and there's you're novel beneath the ketchup and iron bru =)
I know, also on those days where you're bored and keep wandering around the kitchen opening and closing the fridge (or is it just me who does that?). It would be a constant reminder to do something constructive.
