I noticed that I have a "decision-quota" that I can spend every day, and sometimes I spend a lot of this energy on trivial tasks.

So I created a small tool a while ago to learn Vue and to help me with this: https://roulettecarnival.com/ , it's not close to be finished but it kinda works. I also use it with my team to make trivial decisions more fun.

Awesome! This reminds me of something similar I built, called Bracket Based Decision Making!

Quick review:

Very neat presentation. I often work out this sort of thing in my head or on paper.

I was confused by the wording initially. "Enter a list of what you want to decide" sounded to me like I should enter separate decisions ("What should I eat for lunch?", "When should I mow the lawn?", …). Perhaps word it as "Enter the alternatives you are trying to decide between".

I built something for binary decisions: https://en.howtruthful.com
Nice site! I really liked the tournament-style visualization with divs. Just a heads up, your /about page is throwing a 404
Nice idea. Frankly I don’t understand why some people care so much about some irrelevant details, like cloth to wear for a normal day. My girlfriend is expert at indecision and when she ask my opinion and I reply in a second she looks impressed and ask: why? Of course, I don’t reply "because both are equally valid so I just chose one arbitrarily", I come on with some believable argument. But the truth is spending thinking about the options is wasteful. I tried to teach her the head-tail method for binary choice but she’s not convinced.
you are a genius, you should start girlfriend coach or somthing like that.
Looks like I am having tacos tomorrow. Thanks.
Cool tool. You should make it a PWA.
How do you decide what to put on the wheels?
Nice! Can I save the wheels yet?
Unfotunately not yet, I was thinking to save them to localstorage but I didn't had much time lately to work on this.

It's the first item on the TODO list anyway.
