If you go to your lists settings, scroll right down to the bottom and create a view, in the view you will find a section called "filter" select "Created By" is equal to "[Me]"

A better solution is to go into list settings/advanced settings and set the item level permissions. If you just change the view someone could still access the item through another channel.

@Rick: I've done just this. Setup a list workflow so that whenever an item is created / updated you strip out the contributor permissions of the new item and reassign them against the new author using an impersonation step. Additionally, add a column to the list for "Private" and then add a second workflow to add "viewer" rights to the the general user group depending on whether the author tick the yes / no value. – Brian Scott Jan 19 '12 at 14:17
@BrianScott may i know why following your approach would be a better option than to just change the advanced settings? – Saksham Aug 20 '14 at 09:50
