Table Structures and Column Definitions

Column	Data Type	Description
Date (A)	Date/Time (Formatted as MM/DD/YYYY)	Automatically populated using =TODAY() formula. Prevents manual entry errors.
Start Time (B)	Time	User enters when study begins (e.g., 8:30 AM).

Habit Tracker (Sheet: Habit Tracker)

Column	Data Type	Description
Habit Name (A)	Text	Predefined academic habits: e.g., "Review Notes", "Practice Problems", "Set Daily Goals".
Frequency (B)	Text (Daily/Wkly)	Daily habits appear every row; weekly ones repeat monthly.
Mon (C), Tue (D), Wed (E), Thu (F), Fri (G), Sat (H), Sun (I)	Checkbox / Boolean	Users check if they completed the habit on that day.

Formulas Required

Total Duration: In column D:
```
=IF(C2="","",C2-B2)
```
— Calculates time difference only if both start and end times are entered.
Daily Average Study Time: On Dashboard:
```
=AVERAGE(DailyStudyLog!D:D)
```
Habit Streak Counter: Uses a dynamic formula to count consecutive checked days in a habit column. Example for Monday (C):
```
=IF(C2=TRUE, IF(C1=TRUE, C3+1, 1), 0)
```
Weekly Completion Rate: In Weekly Summary:
```
=COUNTIF(HabitTracker!C:C, TRUE)/7
```

Status Indicator (Dashboard): Conditional logic to flag incomplete days:

=IF(SUM(F2:H2)=0, "Incomplete", IF(COUNTA(F2:H2)=3,"Complete","Partial"))

Conditional Formatting Rules

Habit Completion Color Coding: When a checkbox is checked, the cell turns green (RGB 144, 238, 144).
Daily Duration Highlighting: If study duration exceeds 2 hours (7200 seconds), the cell background turns light orange.
Streak Visuals: A streak of 5+ consecutive days is highlighted with a bold yellow border and text in red.
Daily Log Status: Uncompleted logs are flagged with a red background, while fully completed ones get a green header.
