What's the most successful method in attaining lucidity for you?

I know about WILDs, DILDs, HILDs and a few others, but what works best for you? And have you tried all of them? Can you tell me about what happened?

I'm a beginner. I have tried to WILD twice, but to no avail. The first time, it just wasn't working(i think i was too awake) and I just gave up. Second time, I just fell asleep. It just seems so difficult, to focus the mind and concentrate so hard. I think it's gonna be a problem for me because my mind has a tendancy to wander away.

So please enlighten me here. I'm desperate to get at least ONE lucid dream as soon as possible. It sounds so marvellous. Please give me a little glimpse of hope, you mavericks.
