To professionally keep track of my workload and tasks on this project I kept an ongoing Excel document.
I initially set up a table of every task that needed to be completed and also associated a difficulty with that task since I was going to have to learn new skills to complete some of the tasks. I added a simple key to indicate the difficulty level in colours of Green, Yellow and red.
The first version of my project planning table was very brief and did not contained lot of information so a I changed that by expanding upon the individual task that needed to be completed. At first i estimated the time those tasks would take in days but that went into more detail be estimating the hours it would take to complete them.
What I would that I was over estimating the time it would take to complete some of the projects.

Upon finishing the project I found that most of the time estimates I had done were incorrect, and that most of the tests I had done did not take as much time as i though they would. The final table below shows these results.
