Maybe my dad, maybe "what is done", maybe a coin

I am interested in decision-making.  I wrote my dissertation on the subject.  I have been carrying a coin in my pocket to help me make decisions. I have been telling myself that the coin is for checking how I feel about the result of flipping it, and then seeing how much I like the result. I really haven't used the coin much, but I am surprised at how much the few uses differ from what I have told myself.  

I thought I would use the coin for decisions where I couldn't decide on A or not-A. I thought that situations where a choice felt very close to the line between Yes and No would be aided by seeing which the coin advised and seeing how much I agreed with the flip result.  But what I have been finding is that the coin's indication quickly feels like the right thing, seconds after I couldn't make up my mind.  Am I a secret authoritarian, eager to be told what to do?
