The equation used sometimes when I do Independant work is :

Take the time you think it might take
times that by (2)
Add 1
and take it to the next higher unit

For example

You get a schematic and a mech. outline. You figure 7 hours

7 x 2 = 14 hours
14 + 1 = 15 hours
to the next higher unit (days) = 15 days

There you have it.
Just remember to bill that time  ;)


Hope this helps......or at least made you smile.
I agree, figuring out how long it's going to take sucks big time.
