I didn't read the article but I do something similar. I like to cap how long I will probably spend on a project (ranging from minutes to months) and start right before (deadline - expected duration). I find there are no issues with discipline or motivation at that point. There are some downsides to this, but it prevents me "working" on it for months and trying to perfect it. why spend 2 months on something that I could do in a week if I wanted to.
