How to Use the What to Do Wheel

1. Introduction

Stuck in a rut? Can't decide what to do with your free time? The What to Do Wheel is your personal random activity generator! It's perfect for overcoming boredom, managing a list of chores, or finding a new hobby. Just spin the wheel and let a random suggestion kickstart your next activity.

2. Customizing Your Activities

The wheel is pre-loaded with general activities, but it becomes truly powerful when you add your own. You can create lists for anything: weekend projects, daily chores, workout routines, or books to read.

  1. Navigate to the "Entries" tab.
  2. Enter your own activities, one per line. For example:
    Read a chapter of a book
    Go for a 30-minute walk
    Clean the kitchen
    Practice guitar for 15 minutes
  3. Prioritize tasks with weights! If you really need to do laundry, you can enter it as Do laundry : 4. This makes it four times more likely to be selected.

Use the 📥 Import and 📤 Export buttons to save and load different activity lists. You could have a "Productive Tasks" list and a "Fun & Relaxing" list to suit your mood.

3. How to Use

It's incredibly simple to get a suggestion:

  1. Load Your List: Make sure your desired activities are in the "Entries" text area.
  2. Spin for an Idea: Click the "Spin!" button.
  3. Get Your Task: The wheel will randomly select an activity for you to do.
  4. (Optional) Elimination Mode: Once an activity is chosen, you can click "Delete Winner" in the pop-up. This is great for working through a to-do list, ensuring you don't get the same task twice.
