There are guides all over this site that help with pretty much any LD technique you can think of. The first thing you should start with is a dream journal, try to remember all of your dreams upon waking up (like you said in #2.) Also, get yourself into a habit of doing reality checks throughout the day, such as plugging your nose and trying to breath in, pushing your finger through your hand and checking your hands because often times in dreams there will be something odd about your hands. Also, try to randomly challenge yourself throughout the day and ask yourself "am I dreaming" (be as genuine as you can about this) and take a good look around you, does everything seem normal? These are habits you'll want to develop if you want to become a successful lucid dreamer.

But aside from that little paragraph, there are literally hundreds of threads with tutuorials on different LD methods and techniques, go check em' out.
