Formulas Required
- In the Main Dashboard: `=COUNTIF(HabitTracker[Status],"Completed")` — Total habits completed. `=AVERAGE(HabitTracker[Outcome Score])` — Average daily habit effectiveness. `=SUMIFS(HabitTracker[Time Spent],HabitTracker[Habit Category],"Social Media Posting")` — Time invested by category. - Weekly Consistency Rate: `=COUNTIFS(HabitTracker[Date],">="&TODAY()-7,HabitTracker[Status],"Completed")/COUNTIF(HabitTracker[Date],">="&TODAY()-7)*100` — % of tasks completed in last 7 days. - Goal Progress Tracker: `=COUNTIFS(HabitTracker[Related Goal ID],MarketingPlanGoals!$A2,HabitTracker[Status],"Completed")/MarketingPlanGoals!$C2` — Percentage of actions completed toward each goal (where column C is target number of actions).Conditional Formatting
- Habit Status Column: - Green fill if “Completed” - Yellow fill if “In Progress” - Red fill if “Skipped” - Outcome Score Column: - 4–5: Green gradient (high impact) - 2–3: Orange gradient (moderate impact) - 1: Red (low impact — flag for review) - Date Column: Highlight weekends in light gray to distinguish workdays.Instructions for the User
- Begin by defining your quarterly Marketing Plan Goals on the “Marketing Plan Goals” sheet. Each goal should have a unique ID, target outcome, and number of associated actions (e.g., “Post 3x/week on LinkedIn” = 12 actions per month).
- Each morning or evening, log completed or planned habits in the Habit Tracker. Use dropdowns to ensure consistency.
- Rate each habit’s outcome immediately after execution—this feedback loop is critical for optimization.
- Check the Main Dashboard daily to review your Consistency Rate and Time Allocation trends.
- Every Friday, use the Performance Analytics sheet to identify underperforming habits. Ask: “Which habits drive results?” and “Which are time sinks?”
- Update the Resource Library as you discover new tools or templates (e.g., Canva, Mailchimp, HubSpot). This becomes your institutional knowledge base.
