Why is this a problem? For people that live/ride in flatter areas, using the larger chainring most of the time is pretty normal and I sure as heck wouldn't actively seek out a "solution" to make front shifting more frequent than it needs to be. If anything, I'd probably go to a tighter cassette and leave the chainrings alone, since you don't need the 34/30 for climbing; go get another 12-25t (assuming 11 speed).
