"I have work to do, but I'll just check hacker news first... Oh, there's an article about how not to procrastinate... which is great, I'm trying not to procrastinate so much. Let me read that first before I start my work."

Seriously though, I agree with the approach. When starting a talk or writing a design doc, I'll sometimes just start with an outline or half-baked paragraph. From there, writing the rest comes down to filling out areas where more detail is needed, verifying statements, and so on.
