If you just go to bed every night, hoping to have a lucid dream without using any induction techniques, it will take you much longer until you finally have a lucid dream.

However, it seems you are already doing great. Keeping a dream journal and being motivated are two of the most important things when it comes to lucid dreaming.
Keep it up!
