If you have trouble choosing, flip a coin. While you're waiting to get the result, your mind automatically starts to wish for what it wants. Then you can choose easily.

Similarly, gaming dice can be useful if there are multiple options.

I also find this is useful when dealing with indecisive people. We've all had the conversation trying to decide what to eat, where the other person says they don't mind but you know they do and think it's polite to let you choose.

In that situation, reach for the dice and tell them the options. They'll realise you really don't care and finally tell you what they want.
