1. Abstract

In today’s busy lifestyle, managing daily tasks and measuring productivity has become very important. Many people find it difficult to track their work manually and analyze their progress.

This project focuses on developing a Productivity Tracker using the Django framework and Plotly for data visualization. The system allows users to create accounts, add daily tasks, assign scores, and track their performance. Completed tasks are stored in the database along with the date.

The system generates interactive graphs to show productivity trends, scores, and streaks. All data is stored securely using Django models. This project helps users improve time management and work efficiency.

2. Objectives

The main objectives of this project are:

1. To develop an online productivity tracking system.
2. To implement secure user login and registration.
3. To allow users to manage daily tasks.
4. To assign scores to completed tasks.
5. To store daily performance data.
6. To generate interactive reports.
7. To implement CRUD operations using Django.
8. To analyze productivity trends.
9. To improve self-discipline.
10. To enhance web development skills.

3. Existing System

In the existing system, users usually manage their tasks using notebooks or simple mobile apps.

The drawbacks of the existing system are:

1. Manual task tracking.
2. No proper performance analysis.
3. Data may be lost.
4. Limited reporting features.
5. No centralized storage.
6. Less motivation.
7. Poor data visualization.
8. Low security.

These problems make productivity tracking difficult.

4. Proposed System

The proposed system provides a web-based productivity tracker using Django and Plotly.

In this system:

• Users can register and login.

• Personal dashboards are provided.

• Tasks can be added and managed.

• Scores are assigned to tasks.

• Daily progress is recorded.

• Interactive graphs are displayed.

• Profile details can be updated.

• Data is stored securely.

This system improves accuracy, accessibility, and performance tracking.
