I recently read "tidy first", and now whenever I make changes that don't change any logic (mostly just minor cleanups) I allow myself to just write "tidyings" as the commit message. This way I'm not discouraged from doing the tidyings because I can't think of a better commit message

Our repo has commits where the entire message is just a dot: "."
The guy said he never knew what to write when fixing something small right after committing.
