Designed for self-improvement enthusiasts who also manage physical or digital inventory (e.g., wellness products, fitness gear, study materials), this template empowers users to track daily habits while monitoring supply levels of essential resources. The synergy between habit consistency and resource availability creates a powerful feedback loop that enhances long-term success.

Table Structures & Data Types

1. Habit Tracker (Sheet: Habit Tracker)

Note: Duration is optional but recommended for habits like exercise or study.

2. Stock Inventory (Sheet: Stock Inventory)

3. Replenishment Alerts (Sheet: Replenishment Alerts)

A dynamic table that pulls from the Stock Inventory sheet using formulas to flag items with current quantity ≤ reorder threshold.

Formulas Required

• Dashboard - Daily Completion Rate:
  =COUNTIF(HabitTracker!C:C, TRUE) / COUNTA(HabitTracker!A:A) * 100
• Dashboard - Streak Counter:
  Uses a complex array formula to calculate consecutive checkmarks in the status column (column C).
• Stock Inventory - Low Stock Alert:
  =IF([@Current Quantity] <= [@Reorder Threshold], "LOW", "")
• Replenishment Alerts - Dynamic Filtering:
  =FILTER(StockInventory!A:E, (StockInventory!C:C <= StockInventory!D:D) * (StockInventory!C:C > 0))
• Habit Analytics - Weekly Completion Rate:
  Use SUMIFS to count completed habits within each week.

Conditional Formatting Rules

• Habit Tracker: Highlight entire row green if "Status" is TRUE, red if FALSE.
• Stock Inventory: Apply color scales to Current Quantity column—green (high), yellow (medium), red (low).
• Dashboard: Conditional formatting on KPIs: green for ≥ 85% completion, amber for 60–84%, red below 60%.
• Replenishment Alerts: Highlight cells in red and bold text when stock is critically low.
