This is the core of the to-do list functionality, designed for daily use.- Column A: Task ID (Auto-generated) – Text/Number (e.g., T001, T002) – Used to uniquely identify each task.
- Column B: Task Description – Text (up to 50 characters) – Clear, concise description of the chore or duty (e.g., “Take out trash,” “Clean bathroom”).

- Column J: Last Completed Date – Date format.

=A15-B15 - D15: High Priority Tasks Remaining – Formula:
=COUNTIFS(E2:E100,"<>"&"Completed", D2:D100,"High") - E15: % Complete (Progress Bar) – Formula:
