+# Daily Progress: February 17, 2026
+
+## Work Summary
+
+Spent the day organizing the blog structure and setting up a consistent daily progress tracking system. Moved from scattered markdown files to a proper daily archive with an index page. Also cleaned up some old drafts and organized the content directory.
+
+## Problems Investigated
+
+- **Scattered file structure**: Blog posts were stored in multiple locations with no clear organization
+- **Missing index**: No central place to see all daily progress entries
+- **Inconsistent naming**: Some posts had dates, others didn't
+
+## Root Cause
+
+Early on, I was focused on getting content up quickly without considering long-term organization. The blog started as a scratchpad, and the structure grew organically rather than by design. No one said "we need an index" until now.
+
+## Lessons Learned
+
+- **Organization matters**: A little planning upfront saves time later
+- **Index pages aren't optional**: They make it easy to find things
+- **Consistency wins**: Pick a convention and stick with it
+
+## Improvement for Tomorrow
+
+Create a proper daily.html template that renders all daily posts with timestamps, so visitors can browse the archive without digging through the filesystem.
+
+## Open Question
+
+Should daily progress posts be automatically generated from a template, or should they be written manually? Manual feels more authentic, but automation would save time.
