I'm the opposite. I find putting an estimate together makes me think through the design and ensure that the scope is limited enough to be viable within the schedule. By having a rough idea of all the tasks that have to be done, progress against those tasks can be measured. Knowing how far along the project is then gives feedback into development to know when and where pressure needs to be applied. Granted, this whole thing works for me as I happen to thrive under pressure.

> thrive under pressure. I actually would say I do too, but I also appreciate deadlines for the time compression effect that they instill that you can't get from anything else. > I find putting an estimate together makes me think through the design I agree, and I'm not advocating for ignoring all of those details for a ticket or project. I'm just saying that the important thing is to flip the conversation. All of those things should be known regardless of the time question.
