The only real thing I've done is remove the screens (interior, not exterior) to let more light in. Thankfully, the overhang blocks nearly all the direct sunlight in summer. But, when it gets hot out I also put the blinds halfway up from the bottom to help a little. In winter they go down every night and up every morning to let light in, and also insulate since they're the double honeycomb type and fit the window pretty well.

I do have an attic. One of the first things I did when I moved in was blow in about 13" cellulose up above my existing 8" of fiberglass.

I'm always open to suggestions!
