Hello SenrPF! :)

First, I've read some workbooks from other users here in DV and mine looks more like the notebook of a preschooler, I say this because I see others do much more elaborate analysis and practical than I do. I know that comparisons are not always good, but in this case make me think about the need to devote more effort to practice, reflect and write about what I do, always within my means, of course
First of all, let me say that I don't think that your workbook is that of preschooler. You've been updating frequently and reporting your progress. Keeping a workbook is to help you get organized about what you want to achieve and how you will go about achieving it. Some people like to write a lot, while others not as much or less often, and there is nothing wrong with that. What's important is not what you post in the workbook, but all the practices that you do during the day, all the thoughts about lucidity and of course the very intention to have a lucid dream. :)

The situation is that I make the same mistake when making my practice, I don't follow a script and I'm making changes and moving from one exercise to another without much perseverance and always thinking about getting quick results according to my expectations and when it's not what I get, though partial and promising results, I go to change techniques and I start again.

So I 'm going to do something like a "reset" and start again, but this time with the lesson learned. I have to set deadlines and perform the exercises and practices in a consistent way and don't stop until I've met those deadlines. Although read something about some kind of exercises or practices that seem interesting to me, I've got to put aside until finish with what I'm doing. I already know some things that work well and make me good results and I think I've learned from my mistakes, so now I start again but with the knowledge accumulated during this time
Well, you have already given yourself some good advice and I just have to repeat that again. A lot of the journey to lucidty is about figuring out what works best for you. So, it involves some trial and error, that is natural. We recommend to pick an induction method and stick with it, do it consistently, put your heart into it for a while, then see if it works or not, what can be done to improve it, etc. You can also choose more than one technique just be sure to do them properly :P (for example autosuggestion during day, Mild before bed, there are so many combinations of techniques!).
If possible, we recommend doing wbtb combined with an induction method. You don't have to do it every day or too often if you feel this takes away sleep, but when you do - once, twice a week maybe, be sure to do it properly.
Also, concerning usage of dream signs - this makes for a nice complementary method - you can repeat to yourself during the day what your dream signs are, RC when you see them and also think about them pre bed or wbtb/natural wakes. (I'm writing this because I know you track your dream signs, but am not quite sure what practices related to them you do).
Starting over again is a great idea and something even frequent lucid dreamers do. I wish you success with your new strategy and lots of lucidity! :)
