If you carry a calculator in your pocket, but if you're just casually converting, 3 feet per meter is pretty good. 100 square meters is about 1000 square feet as well. Not legal for tax purposes, but good enough to understand how big a place is.

40 inches per meter is easy to remember and pretty accurate

Or ten feet per three meters, since longer distances are rarely measured in inches anyhow.. The proverbial ten foot pole is 3048 mm long.
