The most common mathematical optimisation methods employ randomness (noise) to avoid local minima. Similarly, humans can randomise search and decision-making to improve the experience dynamics. By reading a random book, listening to a random person, or using a random app, we can obtain the momentum needed to escape the current minimum. Too much randomness might compromise the direction and the quality; too little would make no effect.
