I do this, it works for me 100%.
I do it before I start the automation.
I tend to start the mix with the vocals and bass, as those are 2 elements that have to be smack on. Once I have the power set, I balance these at the lowest level possible. I'll check from time to time as the mix progresses.
Inversely occasionally I blast it to see if there's something that sticks out too much when it's loud and treat that like I should.
I also check Headphones for the dark side of the moon factor and the 3D factor (Panning seems like it's in front of you and not over your head)
