Tip: Anna *3 gives Anna three chances.

🖼️ Photos

Add pictures of people, pets or things. Each photo takes its file's name (ava.jpg becomes "Ava") and appears in every game. Photos stay on this device and are not in share links.

    Tip: start a name with an emoji, like 🍕 Pizza, for a picture without a photo.

      Ways to use this list

      • Sunday reset: set Winners to 3, spin once and fit the three ideas into your day before the new week starts.
      • Busy parents: 5 minutes or less has ideas that fit into nap time, the school run or the gap while the pasta boils.
      • Break wheel at work: put it on a shared screen at lunch and let it choose a ten-minute break away from desks.
      • Exam season: students spin one small break between study sessions, so rest is planned rather than a guilty scroll.
      • Partners, friends or flatmates: spin an idea for each other, such as making the other person's hot drink or planning their lie-in.

      Press Spin the wheel, tap the game or press the Space bar. Change the list in the box as you like: add your own, delete what doesn't suit you, or write *2 after an entry to give it double the chance. The game buttons switch the same list to a duck race, hat, claw machine and more.

      Questions people ask

      What counts as self-care?

      Anything small that leaves you a little more rested, connected or calm afterwards. It doesn't have to cost money or take long: a cup of tea in silence, a call to a friend or ten minutes outside all count.

      Are there different self-care ideas for men and women?

      Not really: the same small things help almost anyone, from a walk to an early night or time with friends. Edit the list so it fits your life, and add the hobbies that recharge you, whether that's fishing, baking or fixing a bike.

      What if small self-care ideas aren't enough?

      These ideas are for everyday stress, not a substitute for proper support. If you have felt low for weeks, or daily life feels hard to manage, talk to someone you trust and to a doctor or a local support line.

      How can I make self-care a regular habit?

      Tie it to something you already do, like a five-minute idea straight after the school run or before bed. The random habit generator has more small habits to try.
