We could (a) stir faster and (b) warm the mixture.

Stirring faster moves freshly-dissolved sugar away from the solid and allows new water molecules to contact with the surface,

Warming the mixture gives the water molecules more kinetic energy, so their collisions with the surface of the sugar will be more effective in removing the sugar molecules.
