Life Improvement Protocol:
Move as much as you can of your decision space into "default trust" environments.
Save the "default skepticism" environments for areas where your counterparties are particularly sketchy and/or the parts of your job that make you a professional risk-sniffer-outer (journalist, investor, cop, etc.).
Default skepticism is a hell of a bad way to go through life buying rice and greeting your coworkers in the morning.
