I generally make progressing as a spellcaster more difficult by ... not focusing on being a spellcaster. That is, I focus on my sims "normal" lives - going to school/work, taking care of family, learning various skills, etc. and only allow learning magic around that when I don't have something else I need them to be focusing on.
Of course, on the flip side, I also have them use magic to take care of things around the house - Scruberoo gets used a lot. Not so much Repario, Delicioso, or Herbio, since those don't build the related skills. But Repario does get used if I need whatever it is fixed quickly. And Florialoral only is used to weed when the weather's nasty. And Transportalate is only on when there's a baby in the house, since it makes getting to said baby faster.
