I've only begun the venture of increasing my dream recall once again. I started recording my dreams in a journal about a week or two ago, and slowly my dreams have been growing more and more lucid. ... =) ... It has been forever since I've been able to lucidly dream, and I want to set a firm goal to continue recalling dreams.

However, I've recently started a full-time job,... meaning it requires that I get up at 7am or 7:30am, and make enough time for me to get to my place of work at 8:30am. ... This has horribly affected my ability to record things upon waking, knowing that I have to get to work (I like to take time on the details when writing). ... Its an adjustment I wasn't initially ready for, and already my streak of lucidity is gone! ... My dream recall is back to where I started, because of the lack of time I have to record my dreams and meditate (let them settle to memory).

I'm sure there are plenty of you who have met this predicament at least once. Is this simply due to an adjustment in lifestyle, or is my dream recall going to consistently suffer because of my schedule? Any suggestions on increasing dream recall?
