Remove or block the automatic slack adjusters totally, and use the park brake cable adjustment for quick adjustments, then once a month, when you check your car over, etc, back the cables off and tighten the star wheel or whatever adjustment you have.

On my Golf, the adjuster is a wedge on a spring, so there isn't an easy way to stop it from doing its job, other than replacing the spring with an adjustable rod.
