I learned that I also do this at a recent race clinic. The suggestion made to me was to lower my saddle by about an inch. I've ben riding for a long time, and this sounded like a really radical change to me. I talked to my hubby about it, and we agreed to try moving the saddle by 1/2 inch to see what happens - no more toe pointing.
The reason is that if I do point my toes with my saddle this low, I actually hurt my knees. I do still have to think about the pedal stroke, but have become more efficient in learning to pedal circles with a flat foot, and to think about the upstroke more than the downstroke.
Of course, when I get tired, I tend to revert to my old ways. I'm still trying though!
