Figure out how long it takes to fill your bucket and set a timer on the stove, microwave or alarm clock.  Not fool proof but it helps a lot.  Put the buckets in the sink or tub while they fill, when they overflow down the drain it goes.  Even with all my methods to avoid spills I still flood the house about one a month or so.
