Every writer approaches that first blank page or screen differently.
Some complete a full outline and character history before they even begin to write, while others set out with only a vague plan mapped out in their minds. And every one knows that vague maps can lead to wrong turns and can end you up in unexpected, and often, undesirable places. Using a plot chart can put you somewhere in between the two extremes. A plot chart is simply a list of plot points, or scenes, arranged in chronological order. Think of everything you want to happen in your story.
