In life, we spend too much time thinking about our choices rather than making a choice. We built this app for the sole purpose of helping people make faster decisions. We get caught up in comparing the pros and cons and keep going back and forth. This takes up too much mental bandwidth better utilized elsewhere (read watching catch videos). In most circumstances, we just need to make the call - the more we delay, the more it exerts us.  It's time to introduce some randomness in your life. Try YouChoose. Happy Choosing!
