First stage of creating portfolio website is completed. Already available on its domain. *PLEASE DON'T JUDGE PROJECT JUST YET!* Content will change, design might change, effects will be added and responsiveness is not there yet. Not mentioning the loading performance optimisations. Thanks for your understanding.

Now is the time for first consultation with designer. Layout details, design mistakes and effects will be discussed and decided upon. Lets summarise current work.

For few years I'm using golden hour strategy while working on client projects. It's basically Pomodoro Technique. Session should take around 45 minutes with 15 minute break. Data is collected with Emacs Org Mode.

Sessions count: 7
Total time: 05h 05m

And some git stats. I'm not counting changes from initial commit because those are meaningless.

$ git diff --shortstat <init-commit> <last-commit-from-today>
42 files changed, 1069 insertions(+), 703 deletions(-)

Observations:

5h is too much. It should be 3h max. I'm burning too much time thinking on random thoughts while working. Maybe I should use shorter session time to increase pressure.
Design changed few times in this week. That wasn't a problem tho. But I did spent too much time on typing the whole content by hand. This could be easily avoided. Elementary mistake.
I can clearly see Pareto principle here (80/20 rule). Website feels almost done but to finish it up I will spend many more hours then I already spent. Classic.
