I don't usually make it but it's a good way to get started. I like the idea of putting inspirational quotes at the top, too. My favourite at the moment is "wouldn't it be great if this [book, game or whatever] took off and did well? Well, it won't unless you finish it." That helps me to recommit to what I'm doing, and reminds me that, unfortunately, the quickest way to get something done is just to do it.
