I built this after realizing I was spending way too much mental energy on decisions that clearly didn’t matter.

What surprised me wasn’t that people used a coin flip — it was that many said the result itself is irrelevant. Their reaction to it tells them what they already want.

That made me wonder: are tools like this actually about randomness, or just a socially acceptable way to outsource responsibility for starting?

Curious how others here think about this. Is randomness useful, or just a psychological trick to get unstuck?
