Dice can help in another fairly well-known way with decision making by adding one more step:
If you have some options, and no clear preference between them, you can assign them to dice outcomes. The exact probabilities you assign are not very relevant, roughly equal is fine. Roll the dice to pick one.
Then introspect for whether you are actually satisfied with this outcome, or would have preferred some other outcome. Commit accordingly.
This strategy has never worked for me, but I can see it working for other people. If you want to try this though, it is important to make it clear to yourself which procedure you’re following.
I believe that for my mechanism, it is very important to always follow up on the dice. If there is a dice outcome that would disappoint you, just don’t put it on the list!
