@MaddieJay That’s essentially what I do as well! Getting to the THE END of any draft feels so great that I can actually see who and what I want to work  with and become excited about revisions. Usually the next draft is a blank page.

Draft 0 is great idea! My first draft usually changes voice styles…first person or third person or whatever. Even names! It’s a hot mess.

I found that using beat sheets or loose plot styles, say one of the Seven Basic Plots, really helps to write any version of a plot and know when to add which conflict, even by page number, so that keeps the creative juices flowing. Or jump ahead to a scene you really want to write. If you’re bored as the writer, the reader might be as well.
