In the first place I dont do it that often in private projects because the estimation is always wrong.
At work i just think about best and worst case scenario and the average time it could take. If the the worst case scenario is really time intensive and there are a lot of factors that could go wrong in contrast to the best case, I significantly increase the estimated time for the task. Otherwise its 1/6 best case; 1/6 worst case; 4/6 average time

    Worst case x 1.5 to account for unknowns and spikes. Based on average task previously. Make sure to break down as granular as applicable.

    Realistically spikes should be done beforehand reducing the estimate to worst case x 1.3~
