Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance I'd estimate that planning out a 3-hour task would take no more than 10 minutes-- why would you need a whole hour to plan something that's only going to take 3 hours? And in my experience, most of the time, those 10 minutes spent mapping out the plan will end up saving you more time in the long run, as you realize some critical assumption about the work was wrong ("oh I don't actually have to do X", or "oh I'm missing this key dependency and need to loop in team Y").
