That's something I just recently also decided to do! Nothing more
frustrating than having a couple of bodies lying around, going out for
some photoshooting and finding out that they're all loaded with inadept
film. I like bodies to be empty (= available) when they're on the shelf.
Another consequence I made, is to revive my darkroom for (at least b&w)
film development: that way I'll be able to get very quick feedback on
the photoshoot (and may even take the opportunity to tweak development
in function of the subject). In the past, I often got films developed
with pictures that were weeks old, from different occasions, and I
didn't even have the faintest clue what settings I used. Fast
development is the only way to learn about the behaviour of the equipment.
That's for the intentions... now back to reality...
Groeten,

I never had a camera with a film window, and usually never bothered
with the film-box reminder stuff. I only loaded film when I was going
to use it, and removed it from the camera immediately after a shooting
session for processing. That minimized the number of times I set the
wrong ASA ...
