    Over estimate. If the outcome goes either way, I can't be wrong.

    I tend to  underestimate.. and I am pretty sure that is associated with my optimistic nature. I always think we need less, that more is available, that things will work out.

    I am the opposite. I don't want to disappoint anyone so I always give myself wiggle room and would far rather surprise by doing it faster better than disappoint by not being able to deliver. Thank you for your reply Addb. This post was edited by RosieG at April 10, 2020 12:46 PM MDT
