Aggressively descope your projects. That helps. Try to keep as much of your logic outside of any specific framework. Most of my projects that accrue tech debt aren't necessarily because I cut corners (though that happens too :P) just that times changed and I needed to shift my projects into more modern stacks (i.e. for security updates, or because the tech was no longer maintained, hard to use anymore, hard to push updates to). Rewriting software is somewhat of an inevitability it seems like, but the more small reusable pieces you have, the easier that is. Think UNIX philosophy: small units that do a small amount of things well that you can generally depend on once they become stable. It varies depending on your project of course. A lot of the tech debt you take on (fun new tech, getting something out fast) is half the fun.
