The coin flip works surprisingly well for me, and for the exact reason you stated. Given the choice between two options that I can't decide between, I flip a coin. The actual result of the flip is irrelevant, because I'll invariably know which result I want before the coin even lands. It forces me to make a decision in spite of myself.


And if you don't find yourself having a preferred outcome, it means the choices are more-less equal, so coin flip will still save you time.
