I kinda like the smart mirror one. I used to use a mirror as a white board. Track some basic things like physical stats like weekly weight tracking, daily exercising tracking (check if I did, none if I didn't, very visible since I saw it literally every day), and some todo information. A smart mirror could be nice, and doesn't necessarily mean you spend too much time in front of it.

For instance, I never turn on my television in the morning (I barely make it to the kitchen to pull out something for breakfast). Having an immediate dashboard showing the weather, my day's events, reflecting some stats off of fitbit or a smart scale, could be a really cool tool for just improving information visibility, and making it immediately apparent that you are (or are not) doing what you intend to do and keeping you on track. And harder to back out of than an .org agenda file or my mirror-as-whiteboard routine due to reduced UI friction.
