User Instructions

The user should begin by entering daily task data into the Time & Cash Log sheet. Each entry must include a clear description, start and end times, category, type of financial impact (inflow/outflow), and status. The template automatically calculates durations and totals for each day/month. Users can filter by category or date in the Monthly Tracking View. Weekly reports can be generated using the Reports sheet to assess time vs. financial outcomes.

For optimal use, users are advised to enter data daily and review weekly summaries in the Performance Analytics sheet. This enables early detection of inefficiencies or underperforming tasks.
