Show a random task

Sometimes getting things done is like playing a game.

I would find interesting a new feature that gives me a randon task to do among all my tasks in some configurable lists.

That would be a nice feature or list option. It would be helpful, for me at least, where I have a paralyzingly long list of things to accomplish and need to get started with SOMETHING.

(I suppose I could just pick one... But, then again, the paralysis.)

I really like this idea. I wanted to create some custom search, then have chosen N item randomly from this search and the to create list from that.

Something like "There are three things from your long list of things to do."

After completing one of these random task, it will be replaced by new randomly selected or the whole random list could be generated again.

YES! I have a die at my desk that I toss to tell me which task to do right now. (seriously...) I submitted this a few months ago as a "random" option along side sort by due date / priority / etc.

Is there an advanced search feature already (e.g. for smart lists) that allows just that?

I think this would be a great feature and would love to see it implemented. Sometimes you just don't want to make a decision on what chore to tackle first; the app randomly giving you one could be great.

This feels like an old topic, but I want to add my voice saying this would be a welcome feature for me for the same reasons other state. I actually keep it separate random number generator that I punch in the number of items on my to-do list and then flip back and forth it would seems simple enough to integrate into one of the sort options. ☺️
