Good to see you back, 501!

I agree it can be difficult to get back into the ld habit if you have a very busy lifestyle. My suggestion is to start small and strive for consitency in doing a few ld related practices. Once these are well established, you then you can expand to include more items. For example, I am currently working to set up a few lucidity hotspots, places that will remind me to RC and think about dreaming in general. I'm also throwing in a few random SAT/ADA weekly exercises to notice items I haven't paid attention to before.
