When to use What Should I Do?

  • Any recurring low-stakes decision you'd rather not spend a minute on.
  • Bike-shedding avoidance — hand small choices to the picker so you save decision-energy for the ones that matter.
  • Late-evening when your prefrontal cortex is done and you just need an answer.

How the picker works

What Should I Do? runs entirely in your browser — no servers, no accounts, no data sent anywhere. Each pick uses your browser's built-in cryptographic random-number generator (window.crypto.getRandomValues), which is uniformly distributed across the option pool.

The pool for this picker: 40 curated options. Every option has an equal probability of being selected on any given pick (about 2.50% per option).

Picker-kind picks return a single random option from the pool. If you add your own options, they're weighted equally alongside the built-in set.

If you want a deliberately weighted pick (favouring some options over others), the picker isn't the right tool — try structuring the choice as a wheel with duplicated entries, or split into two picks (category first, then item within category).

About this category

Lifestyle decisions are the low-stakes-but-recurring kind that eat mental bandwidth: coin flips, yes/no calls, morning routine choices, small habit-forming picks.

The category isn't about big life decisions — it's the friction remover for the dozens of tiny ones a normal week throws at you.
