Start saying 'No'.
The above should be and will be the top comment in this thread, because it's the only advice I can think of that has worked so far.
The benefits of learning to say no generalize to many other areas. Although I like to think of it inversely, as making my "yes"es very hard, and thus every no becomes a reaffirmation of a higher-value yes I had made in the daylight of reflection and conviction.
