YES!

The first thing I do when writing new code is design an appropriate class interface. For a class designed to be non-inheritable (e.g. a complex number class), the interface might be merged into the implementation. If the class is inheritable or polymorphic (e.g. the canonical Shape class), then the interface will be virtual, and separate from the implementation(s).

Working this way forces you to concentrate on the design, rather than rushing to a (possibly) flawed implementation.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
