"Making" anything non-trivial takes a surprising amount of time. You just don't notice that it does, but the time pressure is real. Here's how I discovered this: I started tracking how much time I spend on doing various things, using Harvest. That simple bit of code that you thought would take half an hour at most? 2 hours and it's not 100% done. That soldering job that you thought would take an hour? 3 hours in total. And so on and so forth. I was surprised, frankly. Now I track every bit of work I do, and track commute as well. The results are quite eye opening.
