Keeping the tip clean helps a lot, try sanding the tip slightly where you would like the solder to stay. Also have a small wet sponge near you as you solder things and drag the tip across while tip is hot; this helps keep it clean. Another hint for keeping the tip clean is while the tip is hot, very rapidly stab it into and out of an old corrugated cardboard box (watch this closely, be careful not to start a fire) you'll find this cleans it fast. Other techs like to have a small piece of steel wool to drag the tip across.
