The template includes the following sheets:

Tasks & Goals: Central table for managing daily tasks and long-term goals with due dates, priorities, and progress tracking.
Time Log: Records time spent on specific activities to analyze productivity patterns and identify inefficiencies.

Weekly Review: A structured template for weekly reflection and planning sessions to improve future productivity.
Settings & Preferences: Customizable fields like work hours, goal thresholds, reminder settings, and team member configurations.

FORMULAS REQUIRED

The template relies on dynamic formulas to maintain data integrity and provide real-time insights:

=IF(AND(DueDate – Flags overdue tasks.


  =NETWORKDAYS(Start, End, Holidays) – Calculates workdays between dates.
  =TIMEVALUE("10:30") - TIMEVALUE("9:00") – Computes duration in hours from start to end times.
  =AVERAGEIFS(CompletionRate, Status, "Completed", Date, ">="&DateStart) – Averages completion rates per week.
  =VLOOKUP(TaskID, TasksTable!$A:$B, 2, FALSE) – Pulls task titles based on ID.



CONDITIONAL FORMATTING
The template uses conditional formatting to highlight critical data points:

  Red background: Overdue tasks or negative productivity scores.
  Yellow background: Tasks at 70% or above completion (to signal near-completion).
  Green background: Completed tasks or high completion rates (>90%).
  Highlight in columns: For any task with progress below 30%, text turns red.
  Pie chart slice color in the dashboard uses color coding per priority level (red = high, yellow = medium).
