If you didn't, how would you ever find the motivation to start?

The fact that I now know is the very reason why I no longer start.

Don’t tell those other suckers, though, or else nothing will ever get started.

It's almost a productivity hack.

We did it not because it was easy, but because we thought it would be easy.

I always multiply my estimates by 3

i use scotty's 2:1 rule now: if i think it's going take an entire sprint i automatically tell my managers that it's either a story or an epic. if i'm sure that i only need the sprint, then it becomes a story; but if i'm not sure i can get done in a sprint, it becomes an epic.
