I spent several years doing daily divinations, first with Tarot cards, and then with geomancy. And I completely know what you mean; much of the time, you have a pedestrian day, and you think "wow, I really read a lot into that divination that was overly dramatic!"
The benefit of doing the divination every day is that occasionally, something dramatic DOES happen, and then you can go back and see how the oracle indicated it.
Once that happens enough times, you can use the oracle profitably for specific questions. It becomes easier to understand the indications. (Of course, you still need to ask the right question.)
The fuzzier aspect of daily divination is that it trains you to "read the vibes", so that you begin to notice small details in your environment and other people that subtly tip you off to what is going to happen, or where you need to go.
Just my two cents, for what it's worth. May your perception grow ever keener!
