myDecision Maker
Enter your options, set weights if some choices should be more likely, and spin to decide.
About the Decision Maker
How it works
Enter your options — one per row — and optionally assign a weight to each. Click Spin and the wheel randomly selects an outcome, weighted by the values you have set. Higher-weighted options have a proportionally greater chance of being chosen.
When to use it
Great for breaking decision deadlock, choosing between equally valid options, running team raffles, or adding a fair random element to group decisions.
- Equal weights — all options have the same probability of being selected
- Custom weights — higher numbers increase the relative probability of that option
- Remove options — use the × button to remove any entry before spinning
Structured decision-making frameworks
For important decisions, random selection is rarely the best approach. Structured frameworks like a decision matrix (score each option against weighted criteria), the 10/10/10 method (how will I feel about this decision in 10 minutes, 10 months, 10 years?), or pre-mortem analysis (imagine the decision failed and work backwards) produce more reliable outcomes than gut feel alone.
- Decision matrix — list options and criteria, score each option on each criterion, weight by importance
- 10/10/10 method — short-term, medium-term, and long-term perspective test
- Pre-mortem — assume the decision fails; identify what might have caused it
- Reversibility test — how easily can this decision be undone? Low reversibility warrants more analysis
