I don't know what techniques people are using, but a RC for me takes about a second (I just pinch myself or look at my hands). And yes, this technique does take dedication, but it gives good results.

Not only that, it interrupts you every 5 minutes. And no, maintaining constant awareness is not that hard. All it is is being conscious of what you're doing, while you're awake.
Well this technique is meant to sort of train the person to be always aware. Doing RCs constantly throughout the day will get the person to always keep LDing in the back of their mind, which will definitely help them achieve LDs. Maintaining constant awareness throughout the entire day is hard for a lot of people, especially when they're busy doing things like work and school. Keeping a set of guidelines will help them stay focused, and also help cement RCs and the constant awareness that comes with it into their brains.
