This is a great strategy, and I've used it successfully to tackle many things like sink of dishes (do one piece whenever I'm in the vicinity) and programming (I'm going to do at least one commit per day on my project.)

I think the biggest benefit has been applying it to meditation. I've been told by several teachers that the process of entering meditation is what you initially want to practice the most, because the rest of your practice relies on being able to do that.

I set different "reminders" for myself to meditate. In the beginning I used "being annoyed" and "waiting for something" as two "triggers" for me to begin meditating immediately, and do it for at least 10 breaths.
