By this I mean we forget we have other things - we don't accurately account for meetings and side-tasks. We underestimate the complexity of even simple tasks. We don't account for the flames we fight habitually without much consideration. We don't even recognise the amount of time we spend just relaying and receiving information. Those intriguing and important (and still work related just not explicitly about the task we have estimated) slack messages and water cooler moments aren't accounted for in our estimates.
Most estimates are inherently given on a "if I am in a perfect working environment with no interruptions" basis and we don't even acknowledge _that_.
This is all before we even begin to appreciate that even perfect world estimates are hard because, as Ron Jeffries said:
Even with clear requirements — and it seems that they never are — it is still almost impossible to know how long something will take, because we’ve never done it before. If we had done it before, we’d just give it to you.
