Conditional Formatting Rules

To improve visual clarity and user engagement, the template applies intelligent conditional formatting:

• Task Status Color-Coding: Green for "Completed", Yellow for "In Progress", Red for "Overdue".
• Priority Highlighting: High priority tasks are shaded in red; urgent tasks flash orange.
• Upcoming Tasks Panel: Tasks due within the next 3 days are highlighted with a blue background.
• Goal Progress Bars: Auto-filled bars showing percentage of goals achieved (using data bars).
• Mood/Health Trends: Cells with low values (e.g., <6) in mood or sleep are shaded in light red.
• Weekly Productivity Score: Based on task completion ratio, colored from green to red.
