I am looking for tips on reducing dust.

I already do these.

1. change ac filters often
2. Use a fan powered ionic air cleaner
3. mop and vacuum frequently

Insufficient data.

What kind of dwelling? (single-family, multi-unit?)
Age of structure?
Do you keep your windows open or closed, typically?
What kind of air filters?
How often is "change AC filters often"?
Is ductwork well sealed?
Does the ductwork run through a dusty space like an attic?
Street shoes worn in house?

I'm sure I've forgotten quite a few and others here will ask
additional questions.

Agree. Adding:

sealing around the attic scuttle access door
ensuring door seals fit well and not leak
same with windows.

A smoke pencil or incense stick can help locate were drafts are
entering the home. I'm in the desert and we have howling dust storms
