Ah, mnemonic devices. Here are some of my favorites:
weird: "we are weird"; useful if you tend to transpose "ei" in this word
accommodate: the word is gracious enough to accommodate two C's and two M's
stationary/stationery: E for "envelope": the spelling with an E is the one that refers to writing materials
vacuum: "uuuuuuuu" is like the sound of a vacuum, which should help you remember that it's just the U that's duplicated
battalion: "battle lion": adding an extra L is a common error; this should help you remember which letter is duplicated
cemetery: E for "eternity": this word is often misspelled with an A (cemetary); remember that it's all E's for this word
