We face many situations in our daily life. Starting from morning to night. We also face situations where we have to make decisions to get out of those situations. Should we follow what the prescription from the scriptures without thinking about much or use our intellect which says to be logical caused by attaining education (not necessarily Vedas and smritis) after a thought process thinking pros and cons.

e.g : After returning from my work, I feel my body is smelly due to sweat and I should take a bath. But the time prescribed has already past. And many more situations like this.

In such cases, should we give importance to our logical thought caused by education or blindly follow the scriptural injunctions which say what to do? Does Hinduism discourage own thought?

I'm not talking about shabda pramana or pratyaksha pramana to prove something. I am talking about which should be followed in daily activities.

Please refrain from giving own thoughts and advises in comments.

Well, what is pleasing/acceptable to oneself is also one of the means of Dharma just like the scriptures (or the scriptural injunctions) are.

Because, Manu Smriti 2.12 says:

वेदः स्मृतिः सदाचारः स्वस्य च प्रियमात्मनः ।
एतच्चतुर्विधं
प्राहुः साक्षाद् धर्मस्य लक्षणम् ॥ १२ ॥

vedaḥ smṛtiḥ sadācāraḥ svasya ca priyamātmanaḥ |

etaccaturvidhaṃ prāhuḥ sākṣād dharmasya lakṣaṇam || 12 ||

The Veda, the Smṛti, the Practice of cultured Men, and what is
agreeable to oneself—these directly constitute the fourfold means of
knowing Dharma.—(12)
