Decision Wheel
You have already thought about it. Put the options on the wheel, weight the ones you lean towards, and let it decide.
- Take the job
- Stay put
- Ask for more time
- Sleep on it
How people use the decision wheel
A decision wheel is not for deciding; it is for finishing. By the time someone spins a wheel they have usually done the thinking, and the spin does two useful things: it ends the loop, and it shows them how they feel about the answer before they act on it. If the result lands and your stomach drops, you have learned something the pros-and-cons list did not tell you.
Weights make it honest. If you are seventy percent sure, write "Take the job *7" and "Stay put *3". Spinning a weighted wheel and feeling relieved is a decision made; spinning it and arguing with the result is a decision made the other way.
For the small stuff (what to watch, where to go) skip the philosophy and spin.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what teachers, hosts and streamers ask us most
Should I really let a wheel make a decision?
Use it as a tiebreaker after you have thought, not instead of thinking. Its real value is the moment the result lands and you notice your reaction.
Can I make it lean towards one option?
Yes. Add a weight, for example "Stay put *3". The result is then three times as likely to be that option.
Can I get a yes-or-no answer?
The yes-or-no wheel is set up for that, with alternating slices and an optional Maybe.
