Try to find your correction factor. Review some projects you did in the past. Would you have been able to complete them in time if you had had twice the time you estimated? Or 1.5x, or 3x? Or even higher?
Next time, estimate your resources in the usual way (breaking down into chunks, etc), then apply your correction factor. I once read some numbers in a book on extreme programming: typical correction factors for programmers without practice in estimating their resources range from 2 to 5. If you keep track of the real time you spend, it quickly gets more accurate.
