How do you deal with the constant guilt that you are wasting your time or not working efficiently or that trying to work efficiently is dumb or any of the other endless prevaricating about your choices?
I always have it. I want to reject all wisdom, self help, and philosophy related to this as bullshit, and I truly believe it's all bullshit, but I keep getting drawn back in and thinking about things.
Part of the problem is that if I truly use my intuitions I end up throwing almost everything in to the trash. Of course that includes self help but it also includes all boring as hell fiction and boring as hell pointless philosophies and current events and history and so on. There are ten trillion things you have to claim you are interested in or else the pseudo intellectuals will come after you.
Of all people, Zizek sums it up well but he doesn't realise you can generalise to literally all philosophy. I have completely realised that all philosophy that is practised is an infinitely small amount of all possible philosophy. I can see this but society abuses you and yells you to fall in to line and swallow the bullshit

Consider the possibility that any step you take may be a step in the wrong direction, and therefore may be worse than taking no action at all.

Not OP but I definitely often have regrets of doing things when I should've just let it slide by.
Inaction is probably the best thing you could ever do in your own life, unless you are for certain that doing an action would get you into a better place.
But you have to be 100% certain, and know everything about the action before doing it. Alot of humans, including me, have failed to act in such a manner, and it has cost me precious things which I would've liked to have back.

No, going straightforward through life is actually not a good idea. You never know what you may encounter in the long run. It's best to take a pre-cautious approach then go head long desu.
Not thinking and going head long is rather reckless and unnecessary.

Not going headlong is exactly how you shelter yourself. Giving yourself the opportunity to fuck stuff up is 100% essential to true learning and understanding.
Unless you have a lot to lose from doing so, which is rare, you always need to be pushing yourself to some extent. And even then you still need to take the leap eventually. The only reckless thing is thinking you can get by by building yourself on a shitty foundation of perfectionism.
