#83 š°ļø The Illusion of Accuracy in Time Estimates ā³
In this episode, inspired by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson's insights from their book "Rework," we tackle the fallacy of time estimation. We'll uncover why our optimistic nature often leads to underestimation in our projects and how we can overcome this by breaking down tasks into smaller, manageable chunks. Learn how to refine your time estimation skills to achieve peak performance and maintain your flow state.
Key Takeaways:
ā
Our natural optimism skews our ability to estimate time, often leading to significant underestimations.
ā
Large projects tend to amplify our estimation errors, resulting in time and budget overruns.
ā
Breaking down projects into smaller parts can greatly enhance our estimation accuracy and overall project management.
ā
Shorter, smaller tasks create more realistic time frames, contributing to a more efficient workflow and a sustained flow state.
