Overcome Decision Paralysis with the Task Randomiser

When you have multiple projects or tasks to tackle, the sheer number of choices can be overwhelming. The fear of choosing the wrong task or not knowing where to start can lead to decision paralysis, leaving you checking out and doing nothing instead of making progress.

That's where the Task Randomiser from UtilWiz comes in. It eliminates this blockage by removing the burden of choice.

Why Decision Paralysis Happens

Having too many options can freeze you in place:

• 🧠 Analysis paralysis — overthinking which task matters most
• 😰 Fear of choosing wrong — worried you'll pick the least important thing
• 🔄 Indecision loops — cycling through options without starting
• 💭 Mental exhaustion — spending energy on choosing instead of doing

Sometimes the best way to make progress is to stop thinking about what to do and just start doing.

What the Task Randomiser Can Do

This tool helps you break through that initial barrier by delegating the decision to chance.

You can:

• ✅ Add tasks with titles and priority levels (Low, Med, High)
• ✅ Set priorities — higher priority tasks are more likely to appear first when randomized
• ✅ Randomize order — shuffle your task list with one click
• ✅ Edit tasks — update titles and priorities anytime
• ✅ Mark complete — check off tasks as you finish them
• ✅ Track progress — see completed tasks in a separate section below

The randomization uses priority weighting, so high-priority tasks are more likely to appear earlier in the shuffled order, while still introducing randomness to break decision paralysis.

How It Works

1. Go to Task Randomiser
2. Add your tasks with titles and set priorities (default is Low)
3. Click "Randomize Order" to shuffle the list
4. Start with the first task and work your way down
5. Check off tasks as you complete them

Each task shows its order number, so you always know what to tackle next without having to decide.

The Psychology Behind It

By delegating the choice to a computer, you free yourself from the mental weight of choosing. Instead of agonizing over which task to tackle first, the randomizer decides for you. This removes the fear of choosing wrong and gets you started immediately.

The priority system still gives you control—important tasks are more likely to appear first—but the randomness breaks the paralysis that comes from having to make the perfect choice.
