If you spend any time watching TV, pick up a guitar and play while you're watching TV. Tim Bowen brought that up, and that's something I do all the time. Sometimes I'm playing an electric unplugged, and sometimes I'm plugged into a little Roland Cube15 amp.

You don't have to practice anything specific, but almost anything you do will be good for muscle memory, ear training, and familiarity with the fingerboard.
