Depends on the style of music you're playing. In Irish trad music the obvious is to use a quaver triplet instead of a crotchet (in 4/4) or a semi-quaver triplet instead of a quaver (in 6/8), for example. One simple way you'd implement this is play the written note, then a note either one tone or a third above or below the written note, then back to the written note again, all in a triplet rhythm. To be honest though it really depends on what type of music you want to play!
