I've got one other suggestion to add to that... Put the date you started the piece on the pricking as well, and when you finish the piece, add that date. I save my prickings in a notebook, and this helps me remember when I made the piece and how long it took me. I usually work on just one project at a time, and rarely have a second pattern going, unless I've gone to a workshop and am finishing something up. So a record of the time I spent on a pattern is very helpful, when people ask me, "How long did it take you...?"
