I sometimes do and I did just a few minutes ago as I’m typing this. I decided 5 out of 7, whether or not I was going to go to a chinese buffet today. The coin decided 5-3, that I will. Then I wanted the coin to decide if I’m going thrifting today and with a landslide of 0-5, it didn’t want me to.
And do you stick to those choices?
Post flip clarity is real for me. If the flip doesn’t go the way I wanted I’ll just recognize that emotion and do whichever thing I actually wanted more.

Yes and yes. So far it hasn’t steered me too wrongly.
Since I rarely have coins handy, I use a clock (if I don’t know the current time, obviously): “If the minutes are odd, yes. Even? No.” (Eg. 2:53 = yes, :54 = no).
For things I seemingly have no opinion about, I do it. If I follow through with it, I really did not care - if I don’t, I have learned in the process I actually have an opinion.

Coin flip? Amateur. You should roll a D20 for initiative.
I usually use it to make small decisions where I want to do the comparatively bad thing but I know I should be doing the good thing. For example, I slept poorly and don’t want to bike to work. Flip a coin to see if I get to take the train instead. I always do 3/5 as well.
Yeah, if I’m really genuinely even on a choice and none of my standard tie-breakers apply. Following through is no issue, as I am legit torn, so have no strong preference.
