What Should I Do? Spin a Wheel When You Can’t Decide
Published
What should you do? If you’re stuck between options, write them down, spin a wheel, and notice your first feeling when it lands. Pleased means do it. Let down means you wanted the other one. Either way you’ve got your answer.
Choosing Between a Few Options
Type your options into a wheel, one per line, and press Spin. The wheel doesn’t need to be right. It only needs to make you notice what you hoped it would land on.
When You Have Free Time and No Plan
Pick something small that you can start in five minutes: go for a walk, tidy one shelf, learn a song, call a friend, or start a hobby you’ve been meaning to try.
When It’s a Bigger Decision
A wheel is good for small choices and for finding out how you feel. For a big one, talk it over with someone you trust, sleep on it, and use the spin only to check your gut.
When a Group Can’t Decide
Everyone adds one idea to the wheel, then you spin once and go with it. Nobody can blame anybody, and you get on with your evening.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it okay to make decisions with a wheel?
For small things, yes, and it saves time. For big ones, use it to learn how you feel rather than to decide.
What if I don’t like what the wheel picks?
That’s useful. If you’re disappointed, you’ve learned what you wanted, so go and do that instead.
