I can't say how many times I found myself in this situation. In general I try to use time units in weeks. Due to dependent nature of development I feel there is not much difference between an hour and a week.

I tried to mean a week looks like the smallest possible unit of time for development. So if something is almost done, I prefer saying it will be ready within a week. Saying it will be done in 5 hours usually end up being a way of tricking myself.
