Interestingly, this was the advice we desperately tried to get our oldest and youngest to follow.
They had English teachers who would allow unlimited rewrites. If the paper was due on 11/7, you could scribble a couple lines on a page, put your name on it, and hand it in today. First grade could be a zero. However, as long as you have handed in some kind of draft by the due date, you could edit and resubmit without losing any points for handing it in late.
Two of my kids just wouldn’t do it. They wouldn’t hand it in until they thought it was perfect. My oldest would hand it in four days late, get 110% with extra credit, but have it graded at 70% because they’d lose 10 points for every day late.
Does this work for having kids?

No.
First part is far easier, but the second part becomes more of a challenge.
