In my own experience, self skepticism isn't sufficient. It's bloody useful of course, but it's also an exceptional time sink -- occasionally to the point where I'll forget to actually think of solutions to the problem.
Does anyone have any algorithms they use to balance self-skepticism with actually solving the problem?
Use more concentrated and in-depth self-skepticism for positions that affect more of your life. For example, I spend a great deal of time criticizing my own ethical beliefs because they significantly affect my actions.
