If you saying things like "I think that whatever is a crime" Turn them into statements like "Whatever is a crime". You don't need the I think because that just makes it should like you unsure of yourself.

If it's a personal narrative, I is okay to use a lot. But if every sentence starts with I, try using a different sentence starter.
For instance:
"I walked along the dark path. I heard a noise and turned around. I saw a couple making out!"
could be replaced with
"While walking along the dark path, I heard a noise and turned to see a couple making out!"
Not a good example, but do you get what I'm saying? There's really nothing that replaces "I" unless you want to speak in third person, but if you want to cut down the I's, combine sentences. Capische?

Restate your sentences. Instead of saying "I decided to go to the mall", say " The decision to go to the mall was a good one"

You could say, 'the writer' or re-phrase the sentence so that, instead of starting with I or having I in it, you say something like, 'it is then possible to ...' rather than 'I would ...'
Hope this helps.

Well, actually, if you are talking about yourself, using "I" statements is a key to proper speaking technique. I, me, and myself are just fine.
