I've spent my time bleeding brakes... Here's my hints:

1) Consider using a different color of brake fluid. In addition to standard clear, fluids are available in blue, red, and yellow, although I can only find "Super Blue". This helps first of all in identifying puddles in your garage. Secondly, it is easy to tell when you're done bleeding when the color of fluid coming out of the bleeder changes color.

2) As someone mentioned, grab a vacuum pump. Consider This or this. Either one will make bleeding a one-person job, but KEEP AN EYE ON THE RESERVOIR!
