I've just started doing this and it's helped severely.
Start on the first fret with your index finger on the E chord then (on the same chord) hit the second fret with your middle, third fret with your ringfinger, and fourth with your pinky. Jump to the next string and do the exact same thing till you get to the end, then slide down the same last string and begin again only working your way back towards the E chord.
This has been a good picking exercise for me, helps for faster and more accurate playing but only if you do it every single day. If you wish you can also use various forms of picking along with this to get you familiar with the flow of using those.
