Long title, but I had some idea I wanted to try out and it worked well for me. Instead of putting all the available voices inside a loop of 1 or 4 bars, I decided to take 4 sounds (drums), and put these on all bars. I was still left with 12 other instruments/sounds, so gave each bar 3 sounds. With this structure, sounds doesn't overlap as quick and adds more variation throughout your pattern/track/song.
You and I can build upon this idea. Take maybe 1 bassline throughout the whole track, then a sound placed on only the 1th and 3th track, a sound for the 2nd and 4th track etc.. The point here is that I gave myself some structure to experiment upon.

There also a lot of other little tricks I show you in this video.
