Are you trying any induction methods? Because it sounds from your description like you're just expecting to get lucid on a whim. If you haven't already, I would suggest trying out MILD - it's usually the simplest lucid induction method, and is good for understanding the mindset that you'll need for just about any lucid dreaming method. Here's a couple resources I would recommend:

And don't be so quick to dismiss keeping a dream journal. Although it's true that keeping a dream journal will improve your dream recall, journals are also great for another thing - helping your find your dream signs. You can look back at all your old dreams and see what objects/places/themes occur commonly. That way, you can target your reality checks for certain situations that are frequently in your dreams, greatly increasing your chances of lucidity. For example, two of my dream signs are terrible driving, and being at college (I graduated back in May, so if I'm ever there, I obviously must be dreaming). So by performing an RC any time I drive, or any time I think about my college, I'm more likely to also RC in those situations in a dream.
