Fudge factor- we all need it but no one wants to admit it.
Am I the only one who grossly underestimates how long a task will take?
I pop things in my calendar with the best intentions and when it comes to the allotted time, I get about 25% done of what I thought.
The answer is fudge factor.
What is it? It’s adding 15 – 30 minutes to the task in your calendar.
Yes, it means you fit way less in there as you plan your day, but that accounts for the super optimistic scheduler in you.
Would you rather not get an ambitious day of tasks done…
Or complete a humble chunky block of work?
Work in fudge factor.
