You'll get better with the tips you've been given, but there's no getting around that you're high- front-loading a bike not really designed for that. More load on the rear - as you say you're doing - plus panniers up front should help. Piling a bunch of stuff into that basket is - in my opinion - better for flattish commuter-type riding than grinding up hills with narrow shoulders and cars whizzing by.
