1. Making the draft coherent.
2. Making the draft not noxiously bad.
3. avoiding horny jail (occasionally)
I actually find editing/revising more enjoyable than writing the first draft. However, after reading through my own manuscript for the octillionth time (and still finding plenty of errors and little fixes to how sentences are structured) I just get bored of my own story.
Slimming my story down usually. There is often a lot of sentences that probably don't need to be there, but I often worry about messing with the flow by removing them.
Making sentences brief. I tend to ramble on in my drafts, which results in most of my editing time summarizing and paraphrasing the strings of sentences I've written, while still keeping my style.
You are far from alone in this one, it gets easier. Sometimes I even catch myself before I do it nowadays, sometimes.
