Use "one."

ie:
I like the color red
One likes the color red.

It is a problem. You are forced to use I if you must. I wright papers in that narrative quite a bit. You can try reforming the sentence so that I is not always the first word in the sentence. such as This is not something I would do. Rather than - I wouldn't do it that way.
Sometimes you can substitute me. If it were me I would do my homework right after school.
Very tough!

And I don't think you ever will when writing in the first person. That's all part of the territory, a lot of "I"s. It's okay.

EDIT: Sorry, but I feel led to write that unless your paper is a formal one, to write of yourself as "one thinks blah blah" will indeed sound formal. Just so you know.

You can use the experiences you have encountered as the noun in the sentences which will break up the usage of I. Example, "Working daily on key projects broadens my skills."

If it's about yourself, "I" is the correct word. If you are part of a group, you could use the word "team".

You could speak in the third person and freak them out.
