Not sure what to do next? This exercise could help! First create a new flow called To do list, and within this add the following actions:
Action | Notes |
---|---|
Create new list | Create a new list in a variable called ToDoItems. |
Add item to list | Repeat this action 4 times to add 4 items to your list (you need to feed the cats, make tea, do your ironing and perhaps catch up on the latest Netflix box set?). |
Shuffle list | By putting the list in random order you will let the gods of chance dictate what you do next. |

The output you might get from one run of your flow (each iteration should give a different order).
When this is working, save and close your flow, then start ... doing your ironing?
