Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026) on Sunday April 12, 2026 @11:37PM (#47747288)
I am working on a routine tracker app. I have been searching for an app where I could create programs, schedules and routines for various things that I consistently work on in a structured way (ex. workout program, music practice, language study, etc.). I haven't been able to find anything that I could use across my interests so I am building it myself. It's currently in the internal testing phase of the playstore and am working to get it out this month.

> When the urge came up, I put it off five minutes.

I smoked for 13 years and stopped 13 years ago. I have had maybe two or three cigarettes since. I started by gradually cutting down then after a few weeks adopted this exact strategy. When the urge arose I just waited a few minutes and it usually pass. It's also worth noting that in addition to the nicotine addiction, I had to deal with built up habits and being used to having a cigarette in my mouth but after a few months these went away.

To this day I have the occasional craving but these pass much quicker (generally in a few seconds) than they did 13 years ago.

Looking back, it was fairly easy for me but I understand that it's not the same for everyone. My dad quit after 2 decades of smoking, he had vomiting spells and chills for weeks. I know of at least one person who had quit for a decade, had one cigarette and is now back to regularly smoking.
