Don't zoom in the picture until you are about 80% done and only need to put more details to the focal areas. It's pretty hard at the beginning but once you get used to it you'll definitely see the advantage

Well.. just don't get bogged down :)
Once you start detailing ask yourself a question: "Is this an important part in the story and the composition?"
If the answer is no, then stop detailing :) This actually works both ways.. if a part is too detailed and draws attention from the important areas, its perfectly OK to "paint it back", to push it more to the background. (This takes a bit of self-discipline..) A key thing to remember: you're selling the whole image, not just a part of it.
Hope this helps :)
