The amount of sanding should be very minimal. You're either using too much
mud, or being sloppy (I'm guilty here).

Try using THIN coats of mud and getting them smooth when applied.

I also find a damp sponge can do the job equally well as long as there isn't
too much material to remove.

In the early '70s Walt Disney came to Orlando. Sheet rock was nailed
with blue nails and a "sheet rock hatchet". The head of hatchet would
dimple the board, so the finisher needed to come back a second day.
Usually a two coat process then.
