When I was a guitar man, I would play guitar in front of the tv all day...especially during the summer-it's about familiarizing yourself with the instrument, and just making lots of crazy shifts up and down the neck that when the time comes, are as easy as anything else you do on guitar. It's part of technique, really, to have VERY easy access to all parts of the neck.
Also, the thing I tell most people is get to know the names of the notes on the neck, everywhere. Then learn what notes are in what scales and you'll never be totally lost again. Finally, as they say in jazz, the perfect note is always only a half-step away.
