Formulas Required

The template uses dynamic formulas to provide real-time feedback and automated tracking:

• Status Indicator Color Coding: Uses conditional formatting based on the "Status" column.
• Completion Rate (Daily): =IF(AND([@Time Completed]>0, [@Time Allocated]>0), [@Time Completed]/[@Time Allocated], 0)
• Daily Productivity Score: =[@Mindset Rating] * [Completion Rate]
• Weekly Average Mindset Score: Averaged from the weekly data in "Weekly Review" sheet.
• Habit Streak Counter (in Habit Streaks sheet): Uses =IF(AND(TODAY()-PreviousDay=1, Status="Completed"), PreviousStreak+1, 1) logic to track consecutive successful days.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual clarity and immediate insight:

• Status Column: Color-coded—Green for "Completed", Amber for "Partial", Red for "Skipped" or "Delayed".
• Mindset Rating (1–5): Gradient fill from red (1) to green (5), visually showing daily mental energy.
