He talks about it in the video, but there are $100-300 splitter interlocks that you plug into your dryer outlet, and then you have 2 outlets. The device will electrically prevent using both outlets at once.

Way cheaper than paying to pull more circuits, and a bit safer than your "just remember" system, especially if you have guests.
