In our work lives we frequently have to make and keep time-based commitments and estimates and work to schedules. This sucks but it's sometimes and for some often a reality. How do we cope and deal with high-pressure situations like this? By NEVER UNDERESTIMATING!
The old axiom is "under promise and over deliver" and that really is the goal. It helps with work life balance and a variety of other things. Doing this well has so many benefits it's amazing. I hope you can do this well and get good at estimating "just right" to give yourself some breathing room but not be overly padding your estimates such that's it's ridiculous and you're seen as lazy.
