This is a nice little-p process. I've kind of stumbled into it from time to time when I'm having trouble nailing down what I want to do. Tower.app actually helps, because it leaves your commit message betweens cancels.
I say little-p because I've found it to be a nice tool in certain circumstances, but it's not a very proscriptive process, and it's not always clear that you need it until you already find yourself doing it. So it's nice to identify that it happens, and to give yourself a chance to take advantage by pausing and reflecting before you commit, but honestly that's just good practice regardless.
For me, sometimes I'll write some code, get a commit message ready, then realize as I'm writing my message that there's a better/clearer/more general solution to what I just did, and I use that as an opportunity to improve my commit.
