            Gav, I smoked a pack a day for 10 years. I've also quit a thousand times…it's easy! 🙂

            The only way that worked for me was to quit cold turkey and never touch nicotine again. No cigars, no ecigs, no hookah, no social smoking even one cigarette. I've been nicotine free for 4 years now and it gets easier and easier every day.

            You can do it! If you need any pointers, let me know.

                  Trying to better ones self can be a nightmare when your problems are spurred on by someone. Even more so when you're permanently attached. Letting go of it becomes nearly impossible with every dig they take, but you have to, and yet don't know how. While I haven't fallen completely backward, I find myself stress smoking (keep at it Gav) even though I really hate it. I keep hearing this will get easier, but I lack the foresight.

                    A month after failing to quit smoking I'm quitting smoking again. It's been a good ride  😠

                      Smoking was never difficult for me to quit. I smoked a pack day for years. One day I decided no more and that was it. Keep at it Mega your mind is stronger than you think.

                                This seems like the right thread for a few pointers about useful tools to manage personal admin and plan tasks and projects.

                                I expect everyone has some sort of organisational system, be it a paper calendar, Google Docs, a white board on the fridge, or whatever.

                                I do a lot of project management stuff and I have found that there are two cloud based applications that I rate. Both can be used for personal usage but they each have their strengths:

                                Trello - https://trello.com/, this probably has the most applicability for home/personal users. It’s free (but of course you can pay for extra features), it’s modern with a clean and intuitive interface and there is a great mobile app.
                                Basically it supports “swim lanes” – To Do, Doing, Done, on “Boards” that you can create for different projects/needs:

                                JIRA by Atlassian – https://www.atlassian.com/ this is a paid product but it’s very low cost - $10 per month for up to 10 users (it gets much pricier though). It is beefier and more serious than Trello but has a harder learning curve and might put off the casual user. There are a number of third party apps that work well. I like Wings for JIRA personally: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.strintec.jiramini&hl=en.
                                JIRA supports multiple projects and issues creation and tracking. In basic JIRA usage (I won’t go into JIRA Agile unless anyone asks) the issue process is handled by “Workflows” that can be configured extensively.

                                  @hectic I'm a certified Atlassian Dragon Slayer :). I've used Jira for years and have been a GreenHopper/Agile Scrum master in the last few places I've worked. It's how I run an Agile Infrastructure team. Kick ass!
