Probably not the fast and easy answer that you (or me for that matter) want, but I guess it just comes down to editing; again and again.

Reread the paragraphs out loud, and you will often feel where the problem is. Then it becomes a matter of restructuring the sentence. It's easy to just focus on the start of the sentence, but see the whole sentence as one. What are you trying to say? Is there another way of expressing the same thing? Could the information revealed be combined with the sentece before or after?

Give it some time, put the text away for a while. Over time it will get better.
