When I become lucid tonight there will be no need to rush, I will have plenty of time to do whatever I please.

This thread is an awesome idea. I have a bunch of sheets of paper near my bed with things like this written over and over again. Something else that has been really effective for me is saying these things aloud, right before bed and in the shower and such. 'Thinking' the phrases is also effective. I once heard that method actors will repeat their lines in a variety of emotions (happy, sad, angry, bored, etc.) and with different facial expressions to help them remember them. I'm not sure if this is true, but it doesn't really need to be. Like any ritual, what matters is making some form of effort with the given intent. If you believe that it helps, it helps, and it certainly helps me. I also do it while looking at my hands, because I use my hands as a sort of anchor and most of my reality checks involve them, so they're quite associated with dreaming for me by now.

I notice a lot of people make future statements in their autosuggestion, I've noticed whenever I've done this I haven't achieved what I wanted from it. Instead of "I will lucid dream", for example, use present tense. "I lucid dream."
I use the future tense in all my statements because, to me, it feels like the stakes are higher. I used to avoid repeating things like "I will have a lucid dream tonight" because it seemed that if it failed to work a given night, my belief in the effectiveness of autosuggestion would diminish, thus diminishing its effectiveness. I decided at some point that this was... somehow a cop out, and just decided to take any such failures in stride, using the forceful "I *will* have a lucid dream TONIGHT" with as much conviction as I could. Then it started working, sometimes three nights in a row, and because it works so well, my belief in its effectiveness has skyrocketed, and as such so has its effectiveness. Belief is a weird thing. This may function differently for others because all that really matters is what feels right TO YOU. To me, only saying "I lucid dream" wouldn't be forceful, confident or urgent enough, but I'm crazy anyways
