Template Overview: Purpose & Features
The template is structured around the Daily framework, meaning each day is treated as a distinct work unit. This allows users to plan their daily study sessions while simultaneously tracking recurring and one-time bills.

Key features include:
- Daily scheduling for study topics, durations, and progress
- Billing alerts with due dates and payment status tracking
- Automated calculations for total daily expenses and study time allocation
- Visual dashboards showing weekly trends in both academic performance and financial health
- Conditional formatting to highlight overdue bills or missed study goals
Sheet Structure & Naming Conventions
The template consists of four core sheets, each serving a distinct function:
- Daily Study Log (Main Sheet): The central dashboard where users plan and record daily academic activities.
- Bills Tracker: A detailed ledger for tracking all financial obligations, from tuition to groceries.
- Weekly Summary Dashboard: An analytics page visualizing study hours, bill payments, and overdue alerts.
- Instructions & Tips: A guide sheet with setup instructions, keyboard shortcuts, and best practices.
