I can understand this as I have gone through (and still going through) this myself. Yes, you will eventually get to a point where you witness 'all the time', but don't force yourself into that, it won't work. At any moment when you realise that you have stopped witnessing, just start witnessing then and there. Don't worry about the times you have not been able to witness, just be grateful that you are a witness right here right now. This witnessing thing happens in patches initially, but gradually it grows upon you.

With practice, will this witness perspective be automatic?

With practice, what actually happens is that you will get rid of all 'automatic' actions and start living spontaneously. The automatic actions and habits that overpower you will drop off and you will become a master. You will be able to do anything when you want to and stop anything when you want to, that is when you act from a level of pure, non-judgmental, effortless awareness. I hope you get what I mean....
