I'm partial to TDD because it's great for that "simple task"/error-fixing mentality. About 30 minutes before leaving, I make sure I have a couple failing tests and leave them that way when I leave.

Whenever I get back to work, I can just jump in... any kind of work interruption benefits the same way.
