This requires that you put all of the weight on your seat & handlebars. You'll find that the rear-wheel will no longer drift.
Also requires a balanced touch on the handlebars where neither hand has dominance. A lot of of people grip their bars and pull in order to steady their upper-body against uneven pedaling-strokes. This causes you to be wobbly and the front-end to wag back & forth. Instead, curl up your fingers under your palms and place them on top of the bars so that you don't grip the bars. Your weight shoudl be on heel of the palm and your fingernails should be resting on top as well.
+1, also don't look at your front wheel. You should be looking ahead, the same as you would on the road.
If you look at the wheel thinking that you have to keep an eye on it, you will over react to every little movement.
I get numb in about 20min. so I stand up for 30 seconds every 10min. I mostly do intervals on my rollers. Keeping track of what I'm supposed to be doing and my HR, keeps my mind from getting bored.
