The random picker tool is simple to use, but these tips will help you get the most out of it.
Avoid vague wording. Instead of "something tasty," write "Margherita pizza from Domino's."
Add a task list and pick one at random — this helps you get started when everything seems equally important.
Want an option to come up more often? Add it to the list multiple times. Three copies out of ten give a 30% probability.
Choose not what to do, but what NOT to do. Remove options one by one until a finalist remains.
First choose a category (food, entertainment, sports), then a specific option within the category.
Make several random picks in a row and choose the result you liked best — this reveals your true preferences.
