Default How/when do you switch from early to mid-tourney strategy?

Been playing several of the $10+$1 MTT's on Party and getting to the first break is becoming practicly a given. At break one I'm usually hanging around 1500-2500 unless I've gotten great action on all of my premium hands. The majority of the time I make it to break two however still sitting on roughly 2000-3000. After break 2, before bubble-time (roughly 75-100 people left - top 50 pays) I start getting blinded off and am usually milking a weak stack waiting to money. I'm finding I have a very difficult time figuring out when to loosen up and start trying to blind steal. When do you do it? Is it like a light switch that you make a conscious decision to turn on? (e.g. "Okay the blinds are 150-300. Time to put the pedal to the metal".) Or do you gradually start sliding down the starting hand chart? I'm either not switching up early enough or fast enough so I'd like to hear from everyone else on this matter. Thank you,

Pep.
