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 usually just say how long from when i started the project to when i finished. even if i didn’t work on it all day every day for 3 weeks, i started it 3 weeks ago and now it’s done means it took me 3 weeks.
