Personally I keep them closed. Without all the visual information coming in it helps me to focus on my breathing.

Mindfulness in Plain English By Ven. Henepola Gunaratana
I found it from another member who reccomended it (interesting enough to answer another question of the week) and after reading it started using Vipassana meditation myself.
It's a very nice little book that is about a hundred pages. It's set up as a very basic guide to get one started practicing meditation. While it is a Buddhist method of meditation the author tries to represent it without requiring the reader to start practicing Buddhism as well. The later chapters make it very obvious of the author's spiritual beliefs but its a very nice book overall.

"Don't rush it." I have a habit of doing things too quickly and making mistakes because of it. Since I've started focusing more on meditating well rather then trying to get it done done done I've been getting more out of it.

For the "Fridge Printout Idea" why not add a space for a quote near the bottom? That way it not only reminds you about what motivates you to meditate but also reminds you of what inspired you to start as well.
