Quick whistle

I agree. Slow down everything you are doing.

Consider refing the defense carefully. New officials tend to want to make traveling, 3 seconds, and plaming calls. You will still see this, but make it a focus to referee the defense- watch your competitive match-up first and eye the defender.

Then make it a point to see the whole play. If there is a foul, how did it affect the play/game. Then make a decision on whether or not to call it.

Finally, often the quality of an official has more to do with the quality of the no-calls than the quality of the calls.

Just some thoughts.
