Analysis Dashboard (Core "Analysis View")

This is the central hub of the template, providing real-time visual feedback on personal organization effectiveness.

Formulas Required

The following formulas power data automation:

• =TODAY(): Auto-fills current date in logs.
• =COUNTIFS(): Counts completed tasks by type or priority.
• =AVERAGEIFS(): Computes average duration per activity category.
• =IF(AND(...)): Determines status flags (e.g., if task duration > 90 mins → mark as “High-Intensity”).
• =VLOOKUP(): Links goal progress to specific dates in the log.
• =SUMPRODUCT(): Calculates total time spent on personal vs. professional tasks.

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template uses dynamic conditional formatting to provide visual cues:

• Priority Colors: Priority 1 = Green, 3 = Yellow, 5 = Red.
• Status Highlighting: Completed tasks in green; In Progress – blue; Pending – gray.
• Time Spent Thresholds: Any task over 90 minutes is highlighted in orange with a warning note.
• Weekly Completion Rate: Bars grow from light to dark green as completion increases above 80%.
• Milestone Alerts: A red flag appears when a goal reaches 90% progress or is overdue by more than 14 days.
