Daily Productivity Score: =IF(E2="High", G2*1.5, IF(E2="Medium", G2, G2*0.8)) (Adjusts time spent based on priority level to calculate weighted productivity).
Goal Progress Tracker: Formula in the Growth Goals & KPIs sheet that references daily outcomes using VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP to track cumulative progress toward targets.
Last Update Date: =TODAY() (Auto-updates to the current date in a designated cell, helping users know when they last used the template).

Conditional Formatting

Status Highlighting: - "Completed" cells are highlighted green. - "In Progress" cells are yellow. - "Not Started" cells appear red.
Prioritization Color Coding: High-priority tasks turn bright orange; Medium = light blue; Low = gray.
KPI Impact Visualization: Positive results (e.g., "+5 new leads") are highlighted in green text, while negative or neutral entries appear in black.
Daily Productivity Score Banding: If the weighted time exceeds 30 minutes, cell turns light green; if below 15 minutes, turns yellow to flag low-effort days.
