Decision Wheel — Random Choices When You’re Stuck
A decision wheel that breaks ties when neither option feels right. Drop in your choices, spin, and let randomness do the deciding.
The Decision Wheel is the calmer cousin of a coin toss: when you have more than two paths and overthinking is the obstacle, the wheel takes the choice out of your hands. The starting list of generic prompts (“Do it”, “Skip it”, “Sleep on it”) is meant to be edited — your real options matter more. Once you have them in, every option gets equal weight unless you tweak Weighted mode.
How to use it
- Replace the placeholder options with your real choices.
- Add a Sleep on it or Decide tomorrow option to give yourself an out.
- Press Spin and treat the answer as a starting point, not an order.
- Use Weighted mode if some options should carry more weight.
Use cases
- Choosing which of three job offers to accept after they all look fine.
- Picking the next book to read off your “to-read” pile.
- Deciding which two friends to invite for a small dinner.
- Choosing a side project to focus on this weekend.
- Settling what to watch when no one in the group will commit.
- Breaking analysis paralysis on a small purchase decision.
Frequently asked questions
Is using a decision wheel actually a good idea?
For low-stakes choices, yes — paradox of choice is real, and a random tie-breaker saves mental energy. For high-stakes choices, use the wheel to surface what you secretly want: if you feel relief, go with it; if you feel rejection, the other option matters more.
How many options can a decision wheel hold?
Up to 200, though it gets harder to read past 15. For complex decisions, group options into themes (e.g. “travel”, “stay”, “rest”) and spin twice.
Can I weight some choices more than others?
Yes — switch to Weighted mode. Weights range from 1 to 100 and segments resize visually to match the probability you set.
Does the decision wheel save my choices?
The URL updates as you edit, so refreshing the page keeps your wheel. To save it permanently, copy the URL into a note or bookmark.
Is the random decision wheel free?
Yes — no signup, no paywall, no ads on the wheel. Open it, spin it, close it.
