How to choose

The entire point of an activity generator is to remove the burden of choosing. If you are reading this, you are probably suffering from decision fatigue. The simplest way to use the generator is to be honest about your constraints. If you only have ten minutes and feel tired, do not input "high energy" just because you wish you were productive.

Put in your real constraints: time, energy, and mood. Once the generator gives you an idea, treat it as a tiny challenge. Don't overthink it. The benefit comes from the act of doing something novel, not from the activity itself being perfectly flawless.
