I have so many things I want to do but just can't. Play a video game, read a book, take dog for walk, build a gadget I bought parts for, finish writing a song, finish building a computer... But no, I just sit there stuck. How do I get unstuck?

Imake a list and number them and then go on random.org and have it choose an integer and then i do the the thing on the list that matches the number randomly chosen.

This way i’m not making a decision, the lord of chaos is.

This except for the dog walk. Don't make the dog wait!

My wife has a dog too. With the large fenced in yard, they are good to go. They can run faster than I ever will. It's more about the bonding part.

Ah, that sounds lovely. I didn't know if you had a yard at all so erred on the side of caution

Python and other programming languages can do that too, if the person also wants everything offline, and/or can't focus while waiting for webpages to load.

Been using that myself and though not ideal since too many concurrent interests, it helps a bunch.

If the person doesn't know how to code, just ask some of those AI tools available around. If on Windows, the person could even ask for the AI to make a .bat script that only exits after pressing enter or the sort, to be as straight-forward as possible.

Also with the list. Just not the random thing. I pick a small thing off the list and knock out, that sense of accomplishment helps me knock other things off the list.

This is a good one! Thanks!
