It's stupid, but I remember it as a "c" looking mark makes an "h" sound. The smooth breathing mark makes no sound, and resembles no alphabet letter. You'll get used to the words that usually take a rough breathing, and those that don't in time.
In large type:
ἐτελείετο (with smooth breathing)
ὕστερον (with rough breathing and accent)
