This sheet features a calendar grid from day 1 to day 31 of the selected month, with each day in its own cell under corresponding weekday headers.

2. Task Tracker & Progress Log (Main Database)

3. Weekly Summary Report

This sheet auto-populates every week using formulas from the Task Tracker. It includes: total tasks, completed rate, time spent per subject (in hours), and task categories.

• SUMIFS: To total time spent (if logged) by subject.
• AVERAGEIF / AVERAGEIFS: For calculating average task completion rate across weeks.
