• Habit Streak Counter (J): Uses a conditional formula with helper columns to detect consecutive days of completion.
• Motivation-Adjusted Profit Score: =I2*(K2/5) – weights profit by motivation level for personal accountability.

Conditional Formatting

To enhance visual feedback and user engagement:

• Habit Completion (Green Check): When "Yes" is selected, cell turns bright green with a checkmark icon.
