(So technically, reality checking is unnecessary if you have another means of cultivating a lasting high-level awareness throughout the day.) The question then becomes: how do I keep my RC's from becoming a rote, meaningless ritual? And how do I remember to do them in the first place?

Actively SEEKING excuses to RC (e.g. by observing strange phenomena) makes a good point and sounds like solid advice. I tip my hat to that.

I didn't understand this too well, but thank you anyway for the bit I did understand.
