No, I just to work on one feature a day. The estimate serves no purpose, big companies need it for launch date / release and marketing strategy maybe. As an indie, I don't care. If it's going to a day to do, it's going to a day. The same thing that holds true at big corp holds, you don't know what you don't know and sometimes the simplest thing takes the most time. I spent all weekend working on something that I figured would take an hour. Then I have had wins where I thought it would take lots of hours and I do it in less than an hour.
