Well jared, that's the trick, isn't it.

I think as long as you make it your priority at bedtime (without it becoming an obsession - that just causes some frustration), your chances are increased, obviously.

Journaling your dreams helps by giving you a goal or task that becomes part of your sleeping routine. You go to bed with the intention of remembering/becoming lucid in your dreams.

Other than that, I think it's just confidence and skill level that makes consistency.
