Ssheet Names

The template includes the following named worksheets:

• Main Chore Log Sheet: The core tracking sheet where daily chores are recorded, including start/end times, task duration, and completion status.
• Weekly Summary Report: Aggregates data from the Main Chore Log to provide a weekly breakdown of completed tasks and average time spent per chore.
• Monthly Performance Dashboard: A high-level view showing trends over time, including total hours logged, task completion rate, and workload distribution.
• Task Prioritization Matrix: A visual tool that helps users categorize chores by urgency and importance using a 9-box grid.
• Settings & Configuration: Allows customization of chore names, time tracking intervals, user roles, and reporting frequency.

Table Structures and Column Definitions

The Main Chore Log Sheet contains the following table structure:

All columns are structured with specific data types:

• Date: Text or Date format (DD/MM/YYYY).
• Task Name: Text field with a maximum of 50 characters.
• Assigned To: Text field for person/team names.
• Start Time / End Time: Time format (HH:MM).
• Total Duration (min): Calculated numeric value in minutes.
• Status: Dropdown with options: "Completed", "In Progress", "Delayed", or "Pending".
• Notes / Comments: Free-text field for additional context.

Formulas Required

The template relies on several key formulas to ensure accurate time tracking and reporting:

• Total Duration (min): =IF(End_Time="", "", MINUTE(End_Time) - MINUTE(Start_Time)) — This calculates the duration only if both start and end times are filled.
• Time Spent Per Day: In the Weekly Summary, use SUMIFS to total minutes per day across all tasks.
• Average Duration: =AVERAGEIF(Status="Completed", Total_Duration) — To compute average time spent on completed tasks.
• Completion Rate: =COUNTIFS(Status, "Completed") / COUNTA(Task_Name) — Determines percentage of tasks completed.
• Time Spent by Person: Uses SUMIFS over the Assigned To column to track individual workload.

Conditional Formatting Rules

The template includes intelligent conditional formatting to enhance readability and alert users:

• Status Highlighting: Cells in the "Status" column use color codes: green for "Completed", yellow for "In Progress", red for "Delayed", gray for "Pending".
• Duration Thresholds: Any task exceeding 90 minutes is highlighted in orange to indicate potential time inefficiency.
• Weekly Overdue Tasks: In the Weekly Summary, tasks marked "Delayed" are automatically highlighted in red and bold.
• High Workload Flag: If a person’s total time exceeds 5 hours per day, their name is shaded in light red with a warning note.
