Easy Decision Maker
About Easy Decision Maker by FlickTool
Stuck overthinking simple choices? Easy Decision Maker eliminates analysis paralysis by randomly selecting from your options, giving you a clear answer when you’re caught between equally good (or equally unappealing) choices. Whether you’re deciding where to eat, which movie to watch, what project to tackle first, or any decision causing unnecessary mental strain, this tool provides instant, unbiased results that move you from indecision to action.
Simply enter your question, add 2-10+ options, click “Make Decision,” and receive a random selection that removes choice burden from your shoulders. Unlike complex decision matrices or pros/cons lists that add more thinking, this tool embraces randomness—perfect for low-stakes decisions where any option works, but picking one feels paralyzing. Stop wasting mental energy on trivial choices and redirect that brainpower toward decisions that truly matter.
How to Use Easy Decision Maker
Getting your decision made is quick and effortless:
Step 1: Enter Your Question
Click the “Your Question” field and type the decision you’re facing — for example, “What should I eat for lunch?” or “Which project should I start?”
Be clear and specific; your question will appear above the final result for context.
Step 2: Add Your Options
You’ll see three default option fields (Option 1–3). Replace the placeholders with your choices — e.g., Pizza, Sushi, Burgers.
At least two options are required, and you can enter short phrases or single words for quick clarity.
Step 3: Add or Remove More Options
Click “+ Add” to include extra options (no strict limit).
If you’ve added too many, click “- Remove” to delete the last field — but remember, at least two options must remain.
Step 4: Make the Decision
When ready, hit the “Make Decision” button.
The tool will instantly pick one random choice and display:
- Your original question
- A decorative divider
- The phrase “The decision is:” followed by your randomly chosen result in bold, highlighted text.
Step 5: Review or Restart
After getting your result, two buttons appear:
- “Decide Again” – re-rolls the selection using the same options.
- “Clear All” – resets everything (question, options, and result) for a fresh start.
💡 Pro Tip: If you keep clicking “Decide Again” because you dislike the outcome — trust your instincts. You’ve already made your choice deep down!
What is Easy Decision Maker?
An Easy Decision Maker (also called random choice picker or decision randomizer) is a tool that uses randomization algorithms to select one option from a list of possibilities, removing human bias and overthinking from low-stakes decision-making. Unlike weighted decision matrices that assign numerical values or pros/cons lists that require analytical thinking, a decision maker embraces pure randomness—treating all options as equally valid and selecting impartially.
These tools serve people experiencing decision fatigue (mental exhaustion from making too many choices), those paralyzed between equally good options, individuals who overthink trivial decisions, groups needing fair selection methods, and anyone wanting to inject spontaneity into life. By outsourcing the choice to randomness, you free mental resources for important decisions that genuinely require careful thought—while quickly resolving minor choices that drain disproportionate energy.
How It Works
The Easy Decision Maker operates through simple randomization:
- Input Collection: User enters question and 2-10+ options into designated fields
- Array Creation: System stores all entered options in a JavaScript array
- Validation: Confirms at least 2 options exist (minimum for choice scenario)
- Random Number Generation: Uses
Math.random()function to generate random decimal between 0 and 1 - Index Calculation: Multiplies random decimal by array length, rounds down to get random index (e.g., 0-4 for 5 options)
- Selection: Retrieves option at calculated index from array
- Display: Shows selected option with question context in styled answer display
- Re-roll Capability: “Decide Again” button generates new random number for different selection from same options
The randomization ensures each option has equal probability of selection—completely unbiased and unpredictable.
Understanding Decision Fatigue
Decision Fatigue Explained:
Decision fatigue describes the deteriorating quality of decisions made after a long session of decision-making. As you make more choices throughout the day, your cognitive resources deplete, leading to:
- Impaired Trade-Off Ability: Difficulty weighing pros/cons rationally
- Passive Behavior: Choosing default option or avoiding decision entirely
- Impulsivity: Making hasty, unconsidered choices to end mental strain
- Procrastination: Delaying decisions to escape cognitive load
- Reduced Persistence: Giving up on thorough evaluation
Daily Decision Load:
Average adult makes 35,000 decisions daily (University of Cornell). Most are minor (what to wear, what to eat, which route to drive), but each depletes the same mental resource pool as major decisions (job offers, relationship choices, financial investments).
Why Low-Stakes Decisions Drain You:
| Decision Type | Mental Energy Cost | Impact on Important Decisions |
|---|---|---|
| Breakfast choice | Small individual cost | 3-5 daily food decisions = medium drain |
| Clothing selection | Small individual cost | 2-3 outfit decisions = small-medium drain |
| Entertainment choice | Medium individual cost | “What should we watch?” = medium drain |
| Route to work | Small individual cost | Morning commute decisions = small drain |
| Meeting agenda order | Medium individual cost | Work task priorities = medium-large drain |
| Cumulative Effect | — | Depleted cognitive resources for critical 5pm decisions |
The Solution:
Randomize low-stakes decisions that don’t significantly impact outcomes. Whether you eat pizza or sushi tonight rarely matters long-term—but spending 20 minutes agonizing over the choice drains energy you need for career or relationship decisions that truly matter.

Real-Life Examples
The Lunch Debate Solution
Four coworkers spent 15 minutes daily debating where to eat lunch, cycling through “I don’t care, you choose” responses. They started using the decision maker with everyone’s suggestions. Lunch decisions dropped to 30 seconds, saving 14.5 minutes daily (1.2 hours weekly). The saved time went to actual lunch enjoyment instead of debate exhaustion.
Breaking Netflix Paralysis
A couple admitted they spent 40+ minutes nightly scrolling Netflix, unable to choose a movie, often giving up and watching nothing. They created a list of 15 movies/shows they wanted to watch, used the decision maker each night, and committed to watching whatever was selected. Entertainment time increased 40 minutes per session, and they finished 3x more content.
Morning Routine Streamlining
Someone realized they wasted 10 minutes every morning deciding what to wear—staring at closets, creating outfits, changing minds. They pre-selected 7 outfit combinations on Sunday, numbered them, and used the decision maker each morning. Morning routine shortened by 8 minutes, reducing stress and improving punctuality.
Project Priority Assignment
A freelancer with 6 equally important projects froze every Monday trying to decide which to tackle first. All needed completion; none were urgent. They listed projects in the decision maker each week and started with the random selection. Productivity increased—decision removed allowed immediate work instead of 2-hour procrastination.
Family Movie Night Peace
A family of five spent every Friday arguing about movie selection—each person vetoing others’ choices, leading to frustration. They started having each person suggest one movie (5 total), put all in the decision maker, and accepted the result as final. Arguments stopped, family harmony improved, and they actually watched movies instead of fighting.
FAQs
Is the selection truly random?
Yes. The tool uses JavaScript’s Math.random() function, which generates cryptographically sufficient randomness for fair, unbiased selection with equal probability for all options.
Can I influence the results?
No. The randomization is automated and unpredictable. Every option has equal chance regardless of order entered, length, or any other factor.
What if I don’t like the decision?
Click “Decide Again” for a new random selection. Or if you consistently dislike results, that reveals your true preference—go with your gut instead.
How many options can I add?
Technically unlimited. The tool supports 2 minimum (required for choice) to as many as you want to type. Most decisions work best with 3-10 options.
What decisions should I NOT randomize?
Avoid randomizing major life decisions (job offers, marriage, financial investments, health treatments). Use only for low-stakes choices where any option is acceptable and the outcome doesn’t significantly impact your life.
