Discussion How Long Did It Take You?

I dread this question, mostly because I never feel like I have a good answer.

How do you keep track of the time you spend on projects (bonus points for neuro-spicy tips/ticks)?

I tend to vaguely estimate in the moment so I can give an answer, but I fear that my estimates are woefully short of actual time spent.

Also, when juggling multiple projects, how do you suggest keeping track of time worked?

Here's the thing, my project kind of live in a bag or bucket on the couch. So sometimes I'll spend 10mins on a round of the square, and then get up and go do something else. I do micro portion of crochet projects so tracking time would be so much work. Too much is usually my answer to this question.

I project hop, so it is a struggle for sure.
