Decision Wheel

Let the wheel decide for you

Choosing between several good options is surprisingly tiring. Psychologists call it decision fatigue: the more small choices we make, the harder each next one feels. The Decision Wheel removes that friction. List your options, spin, and commit to what the wheel picks — or use your gut reaction to the result to discover what you actually wanted.

How to use the decision wheel

1. Write your options in the box, one per line. Two options work; ten work too.
2. Spin the wheel by clicking the button, tapping the wheel or pressing Ctrl + Enter.
3. Read the decision in the pop-up and act on it right away.
4. Narrow it down by removing options one at a time if you prefer a process of elimination.

What can a decision wheel help with?

• Weekend plans: hike, museum, beach, stay in with a film.
• Work priorities: which task to tackle first when everything feels urgent.
• Travel: the next city to visit or where to go for a day trip.
• Self-care: journaling, a walk, a nap or calling a friend.
• Creative prompts: what to draw, write or cook today.
• Group choices: where the team goes for lunch, settled in seconds.

Make the choice smarter

Want one option to be more likely than another? Simply list it twice — each line is one slice. For full control over colors and exact odds, build a wheel with the Custom Spin Wheel Maker, where every slice has its own weight. Just need a quick thumbs up or down? The Yes or No Wheel is faster.

Your options are saved in your browser, and the Copy share link button creates a link that opens the same wheel for friends, so everyone can watch the decision happen.

The “coin flip” trick

A popular way to use any decision maker: spin, and pay attention to your first emotional reaction when the result appears. If you feel a flash of disappointment, you have learned which option you really prefer. Either way, you are no longer stuck.
