One of the keys to successful bouldering is to keep the momentum going. At the basic level, this means avoiding the classic beginner mistake of pulling up, stopping and then attempting to reach the next hold - pulling up and reaching for the next hold should almost always be part of the one continuous and flowing movement. On steep rock a snatchy style can be very effective for bouldering. As soon as it is possible, snatch for the next hold. Upon catching the hold you will feel your body move away form the rock as you try to control the swing. When you start to feel your body swing back towards the hold, use this momentum to go for the next hold. This pendulum-like technique can be repeated over and over again until you are on top - using your own momentum even makes a big difference on mantels.
