This! This is the way! I envy your coworkers. This practice is also one of the things that help me overcome chronic procrastination. For every project/feature/bugfix/etc.. I start with such a document in which I try to pin down exactly that. The goals (and explicitly calling out non-goals to fight off Feature Creep Frank[1] from the get go), the whys and the hows. The hows should be as detailed as possible. The hows/whys may be getting updated (with history, for this, I just strike through and add a date for the change, nothing fancy like revision history in the storage media). And whenever I feel like slacking off, the detailed tasks in these documents offer me a way out of a rut.
