Daily Focus – Day 37: Estimate From Experience
Part of Daily Focus: 365 Practical Notes for Solo and Small Business Owners.
Plans fail when they use optimistic guesses instead of evidence from previous work.
Memory tends to preserve the smooth version of a task and forget waiting, revisions and setup. Looking at a comparable piece of finished work produces an estimate that can support real deadlines rather than the schedule you wish were possible.
Try this today: Compare the planned time for one task with how long a similar task actually took.
Keep in mind: Better estimates create kinder schedules and more credible deadlines.
