Estimating future achievements is basically guessing. So, why not use the history and assume it will repeat itself?

Estimation and measurement are two essential parts of the Pomodoro Technique. Without them, it is very difficult to make a daily plan. As you work on the technique, you will only improve if you take the time to look back. Then you’ll see how what you thought you could do maps to what you actually achieved. Tracking and recording are the Pomodoro Technique ways of measurement. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to estimate.
