I don't want to take weigh off every set.
Why not?
Even moving your weights around in the gym gives you exercise. I like to think it activates stabilizer muscles since you're shifting the weights at different angles, as opposed to the repeated motion of your actual lift. This is the type of muscle that gets built when you're doing labor, moving shit around, etc. Real manly shit instead of just gym muscles.
Think of your workout not just as a routine but as an opportunity to fight against laziness. Embrace moving around the gym. Let it become an act of meditation.
Besides, it's not like you'll have to do it forever. Eventually, you'll get stronger and build more muscular endurance - then your sets will be more consistent.
The other tips given are good too. Go easier on your first set and you'll have more gas for the others.
If it's just an ego thing that makes you not want to take weight off, let that go. The point of being there isn't to prove or pretend how strong you are - it's to actually become stronger. The way to do that without hurting yourself in the long run is to lift what your body can manage and keep practicing your movements. Don't rush your progress. Own where you're at and work from that place first.

To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
