I have talked before about the 'monkey mind' and how it can be a pain in the ass to ignore it, Meditation and other techniques can help but I find the best thing is to just realize that your mind actually IS 'monkey mind' and pay it no attention. Treat your mind like a stupid friend who won't shut up and constantly lies, makes stuff up and is generally annoying. You know he's full of shit so you just ignore him and what he says. Your mind is pretty much the same.
When my mind starts going crazy at one time I would say 'hey I need to meditate more'. Now I just ignore my mind and maybe mutter the Nembutsu a few times.
