I solve the issue of forgetting my key by having a key constantly attached to my keychain with a keychain clip except when its in use with my notebook. This means that I have three keys - one on my keychain, one on my main computer, and one for backup.

Also I have my passwords synced to my phone, which could serve as a mobile backup in a pinch. I currently have it configured to require the key, but I should probably change that now that I think about the possibility of losing the key.

Using the key is more convenient to me than not using it, because it saves me from having to remember and enter a long master password.
