Doing RCs with your phone is good, but also do them randomly if you think about it. For me, usually if I think about that I might be dreaming, I usually am. So do them whenever you think of doing one.

Varying the style should work fine for starting out, but sometimes certain ones fail for certain people. Varying them should let you know which ones work for you and which ones don't.

you wake up right away because your brain doesn't understand what is happening and needs the logical part of the brain to figure it out. Turning that on wakes you up. This will go away shortly once your brain is used to lucid dreaming.

Don't worry about how slowly it's going, it went slowly for me at first too.
