Developing accurate estimation skills can benefit you across a variety of fields. It's a good talent to develop early in life because it can save you time and money. There are different methods and by experimenting you should develop the perfect one for you.
First, make sure that your tasks are clearly defined. Vague tasks are difficult to estimate. For example, if you say, "make dinner" it would be very challenging to narrow the time down correctly. You have to prepare, serve, wash dishes and clean up.
You should be able to quickly verbalize the first and last steps of each task. If you can't do this, then your goal doesn't have clear boundaries. You just need to be able to visualize what you'll be doing.
Second, if you have completed a goal several times before, then your estimate will tend to be fairly accurate. Now, if this is one of those "first timers," without having any experience you have to go with a ballpark figure.
When you miss too many details and grossly underestimate the time required, it can be because you have compensated for prior experience. And when you overestimate you can waste too much time creating and managing instead of getting things done.
Third, it's better to make a reasonable schedule for your time and goals so that you can actually complete things instead of beating yourself up and feeling negative. This will self-sabotage your work and make things even worse.
In order to make accurate estimates, it's important that you break your schedule down for your goals to the right level. List each one individually, break each down into detail and make sure every one of them has complete boundaries.
How you schedule your time and goals so you can make money on the Internet will make your daily life easier and will generate a successful pattern. Becoming a better estimator may also improve your life at the tactical level of daily time management.
If you record your best (minimum time) to complete a goal, you can also use that to challenge yourself. Beating your previous record can motivate you to maintain a faster tempo. At least, you can try to beat your average time.
It's okay to develop these skills before you have achieved your full clarity of the higher levels of life's purposes and your long-terms goals. Just be sure that at some point, you remember life, so you don't merely become a faster rat on a treadmill.
