I'm still a beginner, so I haven't amassed much first-hand experience.
Here's a great tip that was passed on to me for bottling...
Use the dishwasher as a drying rack. The little things that stick up are perfect for holding a bottle inverted. I can fit about 35-40 bottles on the bottom rack, the rest on the top (but I can't close the top rack when I do that.)
Then use the open door of the dishwasher as a platform to fill bottles: put the beer on the counter and you've got the gravity you need to siphon or run it out a spigot in your priming bucket.
The bottles are right there where you need them, and any spillage is easily contained and cleaned up.
Others?
