Pro Tips

Conditional Formatting: Use Google Sheets' conditional formatting to automatically change cell colors based on the "Status" (e.g., Green for "Completed," Red for "Overdue").
Data Validation: Create dropdown menus for the "Status" and "Priority" columns to ensure data consistency across your team.
Freeze Panes: Use the "View > Freeze" function to keep your header row visible as you scroll through long task lists.
