I regularly use randomness to make (small) decisions in my life. I look at my watch and decide based on the last digit of the seconds. (Often, I just want one bit—even or odd.)
Without this, I'm indecisive all too often, in the stupidest of places. Choosing what to order at a restaurant, for example, used to be a bit of a pain; now I just select a few acceptable choices and then decide randomly. Similarly, it's also how I vary up my walk home: even, I take a left turn, odd—a right.

It's a surprisingly useful little trick!
