Where avoiding analysis paralysis comes is in steps 1 and 2 - you might
be done at that point.
where the theory helps is in step 3, - some theory might save time on
repetitive "try something"
Or if step 1 is really expensive, and a failure at step 2 is a problem.
Admittedly, half the fun is experimenting - I prefer antenna theory
textbooks where there are pictures of the author in front of antennas
they've built.

I'm a big fan of "experiment trumps theory" and basically I have spent
nearly 50 years doing the following:
1. Make something.
2. See if it works well enough.
3. If it works well enough, you're done. If it doesn't, change
something and see what happens.
Clearly I'm just an amateur. But because I'm on TowerTalk™ I can say I
make "educated guesses."
Love you guys,
