Here's what I would tell you to do.
And what I would do myself.

I'd stop for a minute, and consider what "self help" techniques are made for. No author of any program or book wants you to spend your whole life stopping and thinking, what technique should I use here? If they do, they're in it for the money.

The whole point is to get you to just integrate it into your life and use it whenever you remember to use it, no matter what technique.

Just live your life, do what you love/want to do, and what you have to. Self help is there to HELP, but the best way to go about a problem is to solve it for yourself.

All those authors out their solved problems for themselves and are now giving you the answer. Why? To make your life easier, because they know that the problem they solved will come up in your life at least once, for example, Photoreading because they knew you'd have to read sooner or later.

They solved it for themselves, you can too. Self help techniques are not there to tell you how to live your life, only to aid you.
