Hi, Jonathan. Welcome to Ld4all 
I’ve just returned to dreaming after a 6 months break and am focusing, among other things, on dream recall as well. What I’ve found over the years is that writing down on paper really bores me too and I end up not recording my dreams after a while (and almost completely stopping after that 
). To get the best results in increasing DR you should record everything you remember… but the more you remember the more effort you have to put in recording the dream 
So what I do now is when I wake up after a dream I write down key words in my paper DJ, just to make sure I don’t completely forget about the dream later. Then when I finally get up in the morning, I type the dream out on the computer. I find that typing is a lot faster and much more fun than using a pencil 
Now I’m able to type every single detail I remember and my DR is getting a LOT better. So much better it’s motivating me beyond anything I thought was possible, which makes me want to record even more stuff from my dreams (I’m even making some simple drawings some times). Any way to record your dreams is valid. Use whatever you feel more confortable with, whatever bores you less and motivates you more 
You also way want to take a look at this.
Good luck!
