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.
