I love your experiments (and the results are very relatable). For a while I was using Brili for something similar (it basically breaks down each bit of a chore (e.g. morning routine or cleaning the bathroom) and estimates time, and you get to see how long it actually takes as you do it).
Suffice to say it was very surprising to me how my brain estimated stuff vs reality!
For sure! I came into this experiment fully expecting to confirm my biases (e.g. brain thinks stuff will take too long), but it turns out that my biases are also how my brain estimates stuff, and so they don't always hold up to reality. Funny house that works.

This motivated me to start working on my final project today
let's freaking go
this made me go do that thing i was putting off (going to the makerspace to practice using the jigsaw on scrap wood).
How'd it go??
