Often I just start from the last letter I wrote. 

In general, I use the Emacs[1] "auto-insert-tkld" package, which takes a
template file and (optionally) asks some fill-in-the-blanks questions.

I have templates for several types of TeX documents, Makefiles, and
for each of the programming languages I use.

I can send (or post) the template rules and the template file(s) if
you want them.

[1] My GNU Emacs custom startup file runs to (clickety click) 177k.  I
    have amassed *quite* a few custom hacks and 3rd party packages
    over the ten years or so I've been hacking on my Emacs config.
