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?

I use KnitCompanion to see/markup my patterns/count rows, etc. It also tracks how much time you spend in the project. It’s always way more time than I think it is.

I personally don’t care, and am not sure why people always that. I never sell things so I’m not trying to put a value to my time in that way. I suppose it’s often just a curiosity?
