Thats what I do, find it to work the best when all my bills are separated into individual pots (council tax, water, energy, travel etc.)

This is what I do and I find it to be the most effective way to save.
Personally not much of a fan of round-up or algorithmic savings methods.

10% to investments and 10% in my Monzo Pots! 
Also do a round up into a pot and the 1p savings challenge because why not!
I put 60% aside for bills, save 25%, spend 12% and the remaining 10% goes towards extra maths lessons.

I do it the flip side,
pay bills first
then know my budget for the month.
Then end of month excess goes back to savings.

All in all I think the above methods are all credible however so much easier to achieve if you destroy your debt first.
