RandomTask
The dice-based productivity hack.
Stop overthinking. Start rolling. RandomTask is a gamified task app and ADHD-friendly productivity tool that helps you beat task paralysis with a single dice roll. Instead of agonising over which chore or tiny to-do to start, RandomTask compresses your “I should really…” backlog into a short dice session. One roll, one tiny task, instant momentum.
It’s designed for ADHD, Autism, depression and executive dysfunction - but it’s just as useful for any distractible brain that struggles with traditional to-do lists or gets stuck in decision paralysis and overwhelm.
What RandomTask is (and isn’t)
The RandomTask Method (RTM) is a gamified productivity system for low-priority tasks that uses randomness and rewards to get you moving. You add a small set of clear, concrete tasks, roll a dice, and let fate decide the order. The app focuses on single-task focus and the execution phase: actually doing the work - instead of giving you yet another complex planning environment.
RandomTask is not a project management tool. It’s not trying to replace your calendar, your GTD setup, your Eisenhower matrix, or your favourite list app. It sits alongside them as a tiny engine for the stuff you keep postponing: cleaning, admin, digital clutter, life maintenance and “I’ll do it later” tasks.
Think of it as a complement, not a competitor. Your main tools can keep tracking deadlines, projects and goals. RandomTask is the getting things done tool you fire up when your brain can’t decide what to do next.
The RandomTask Method in plain language
RTM is intentionally simple so it still works on low-energy days:
•
Write down up to 6 tiny, specific tasks.
•
Assign each task to a dice face: leave room for 1 reward or break if you want.
•
Roll the dice. Whatever it lands on is what you do next. No re-sorting, no “maybe this other thing is better”.
•
Do the task, mark it done, and roll again until the list is clear or your session is over.
That’s it. No priorities, no categories, no fifteen filters: just Randomness & Ease. The app keeps the loop tight so you can keep moving without getting lost in fake productivity.
Why a dice helps your brain more than another list
Under the hood, RandomTask leans on well-known psychology instead of motivational quotes:
Decision paralysis & overwhelm
When every item on your list feels low-priority, your brain gets stuck trying to optimise. That’s where executive dysfunction bites: you burn energy deciding instead of doing. RandomTask kills that debate: the dice chooses, you act. One tap = one decision.
Gamification & variable rewards
Randomness turns boring chores into a small game of chance. Add a reward slot, and suddenly there’s a variable reward loop: sometimes you hit a task, sometimes you hit a treat. That “what’s next?” anticipation keeps you engaged without turning the app into a slot machine.
The Zeigarnik effect & mental clutter
Unfinished tasks stay active in your mind, eating attention. A pile of “I really should…” items can feel heavier than one hard project. RandomTask lets you blitz through those loose ends and clear that background noise.
Who RandomTask is for
RandomTask is especially useful if you:
•
Struggle with traditional to-do lists and never-ending apps.
•
Have ADHD, Autism or other neurodivergent wiring that makes starting “simple” tasks surprisingly hard.
•
Live with depression or executive dysfunction and need a gentler, lower-pressure way to make progress.
•
Can handle complex work tasks but somehow can’t clear your sink, inbox or digital downloads.
It’s ideal for creators, students, founders, remote workers and overwhelmed adults who want a quick productivity hack rather than another “system” to maintain.
