I do but only when it's in a state I'm happy with (if it's a wip branch I'm still not going to commit something that doesn't compile or I might forget the details of quickly). This usually isn't the case at the

No. Normally I work on game or web projects where I will have a number of WIP progress fixes at once and will separate them into atomic commits at the time I'm happy with them. Creating a bunch of temporary branches with multiple WIPs,

You're not looking at and digesting all of that information at once (unless you have an impressive dozen sets of eyes :) ). You're context switching, and you've found that the most productive way for you to context switch is
