Here’s two intuitions I have:
Almost-everything takes longer than I think it will
Longer things take disproportionately longer than I think they will
I think many of my projects take longer than planned not because the work itself takes longer than I think it will, but because of long stretches of time where I do nothing at all — something comes up, weeks go by, and suddenly I realise I’ve made no progress at all on that-thing-I-was-working-on.
Yep, that rings true 😂
