Just unloading the upstroke pedal a little bit, especially when climbing can make a noticeable difference.
I like that one, unloading the upstroke a little. Another feature of pedaling for me is to watch out for the feeling that my foot is hitting bottom as it goes down, and pushing too hard at the bottom of the stroke. I usually take that as a sign my saddle is a few mm too low - usually a very small rise relieves it. I can get knee pain if I don't.
