For When You're Stuck in Decision Limbo
We've all been there: standing in front of the fridge, scrolling through Netflix, or debating where to go for the weekend. When all options seem equally fine (or equally meh), maybe it's time for some randomness.
The "Card Decides" Game
This is NOT a serious decision-making method. It's a fun way to break out of indecision paralysis:
- State your options - "Pizza or Sushi?" / "Movie or Book tonight?"
- Draw a card - Don't assign meanings beforehand
- Go with your gut - Which option does the card make you lean toward?
- Notice your reaction - Did you feel relief or disappointment? That's your real answer!
The card doesn't actually decide. It just reveals what you secretly wanted.
When This Works Best
- Low-stakes decisions (dinner, entertainment, weekend plans)
- When you're overthinking simple choices
- When you want to add some playfulness to boring decisions
When NOT to Use This
Probably don't use this for:
- Career decisions
- Financial choices
- Anything with real consequences
For those, maybe try a spreadsheet. 😄
Sometimes the best way to know what you want is to flip a coin and notice how you feel about the result.
