Helps me unload work stress as much as it helps prime the pump for creative endeavor. More and more, I realize my life and my expression are inextricably tied. Just finished doing some this morning.

Furthermore, I never look back at it - which is recommended for this process. Just get it out, let it go, open the pipe for something better. I will jot down anything worthwhile that comes up on a separate page (to-do items, inspired phrases - though that's rare).
