Daily Task Wheel
Chooses your next task so you can skip the twenty minutes spent deciding which one to start. Best loaded with tasks that are all genuinely worth doing.
A daily task wheel picks your next task at random when you spin it — a simple way to beat procrastination by removing the choice of what to start.
What is a daily task wheel?
A daily task wheel is a spinning wheel with your to-dos as its segments. Spinning it selects what to do next, which helps when a long list is paralyzing and the hardest part is simply choosing where to begin.
What is on the Daily Task Wheel by default?
The daily task wheel loads with these 8 options, so you can spin it straight away without setting anything up. Every one of them can be edited, removed, or replaced with your own list — the wheel redraws itself as you type, and nothing you enter is saved or sent anywhere.
- Emails
- Deep work
- Quick admin
- Tidy workspace
- Plan tomorrow
- One hard task
- Follow-ups
- Short break
When should you use a daily task wheel?
- Choosing which task to start next
- Beating procrastination and overwhelm
- Adding momentum to a long to-do list
- Making focused work feel like a game
How to use the daily task wheel
- Add your tasks. Type the to-dos you need to get through.
- Spin. Press SPIN to pick your next task.
- Focus. Do the task under the pointer, then spin for the next.
- Share it if you need it again. Press Share to copy a link that reopens this exact wheel, options and all. Useful for a class roster you spin every week, or for letting a group spin the same wheel from their own phones.
Frequently asked questions
How does this beat procrastination?
It removes the decision of what to start — you spin, then act, which lowers the barrier to beginning.
Is the daily task wheel free?
Yes, it is free with no sign-up.
Can I pair it with Pomodoro?
Yes. Spin to pick a task, then work a focused block on it.
Can I share a wheel with someone else?
Yes. Press Share and the link is copied to your clipboard. Anyone who opens it gets the wheel with your exact options already loaded, so a teacher can bookmark one link per class and a group can spin the same wheel from different phones. The options travel in the link itself — nothing is saved to an account, because there are no accounts.
Do I need an account to save a wheel?
No, and there is no account to make. A wheel is saved by keeping its share link — bookmark it, paste it into a lesson plan, or send it to whoever needs it. Because the options live in the URL rather than on a server, the link keeps working without anyone logging in.
