I never estimate. Where I work now we just agree if a task is S, M, or L, meaning shirt sizes.

S = easy task, no need for any digging or help from other teams/third parties.
M = A bit bigger than S. Might need some outside help or at least some digging.
L = Will take a while and most likely needs a lot of outside help.

And since I have like a billion meetings everyday even a S can take me a week to complete in actual time.
