In talking with people about their challenges in getting work done, some common themes appear:
their work takes longer than anticipated and they plan more for their day than they can get done.
I suggest breaking the tasks down into smaller pieces and keeping a keen eye on each task being outcome oriented.
This way you'll better define what you think will be 'done' for the task, and this will yield a better estimate.
This will help you from over-scheduling since your estimates will guide your daily planning.
My daily retrospective also gives me time to review my estimates, asking which ones were over, which were under, and what about the tasks led to that particular estimate?
You'll find the more you keep your tasks to be outcome oriented, the better your estimates will be, and the more work you'll be able to complete in a day.
Let me know how this works for you!
