“Wheel” and “Book of answers”

Two things for decisions not worth thinking over.

How to spin it

Press the wheel and hold — it spins up. Let go: wherever it stops is the answer.

Hold a little longer than feels necessary. Let go too early and the wheel won’t get up to speed — it says so, and you can try again.

Spin as often as you like: there is no limit per day and none per wheel. The last word belongs to a person, not to a counter.

When the wheel doesn’t answer

Sometimes the pointer stops exactly between two options. Nothing has gone wrong: chance has declined to take part, and the decision stays with you.

Your own wheels

Six wheels are in the list from the first launch: “Yes or No?”, “What to Do Tonight?”, “How to Recharge?”, “Today’s Challenge”, “What to Eat?” and “What to Do with This Task?”. They can be renamed, their options changed, or deleted — they are no different from a wheel made from scratch.

There can be up to twelve wheels, each with two to eight options. The list is shown as tiles or as rows, whichever you prefer.

Book of answers

Think of a question — there is nowhere to type it, and the book never sees it. Press the book and hold. Let go, and the page carries the answer.

It holds hundreds of answers: a short “yes”, a request to wait, a piece of advice, a thought worth sitting with. The same answer doesn’t come twice in a row, and the book doesn’t contradict itself one line later.

What it is for

Neither the wheel nor the book affects anything in the app: the answers do not go into the portrait, the practice or the history.

The wheel takes the weight off a decision that doesn’t deserve it. And if the word that comes up makes you want to argue — “no, that’s not what I wanted” — that is an answer too, and it arrives faster than any amount of thinking.
