I didn't get any work done until yesterday. (We went out of town for Thanksgiving, plus I got sick, and got better. But I made an appropriately lowball estimate, which I met.)
I drafted for a while last night, sitting with the cat on my lap out of view of a clock, so I don't know exactly how long it was. I drafted several pages, and think it was at least 45 minutes, probably more, but I called it 45. This morning I typed that in and tinkered with a word or two: 15 minutes. Later today I started some lit review searching, found a good article which I read and found at least one good idea/quotation that will fit with my paper. 35 minutes.
So I think I exceeded my estimate by 5 minutes, it might have been a tad more if I underestimated how long I wrote and thought last night. But I was pleased that I got as much worked in on a holiday week. (Graded a batch of papers too!)
I was hoping I'd end up doing more, but as I made that estimate I tried to be as realistic as possible, so I guess I succeeded.

The goal was to be realistic and it sounded like you succeeded! That's important feedback for future work. Good job!
