This program is designed to create an easy way to record and track the hours one stays productive. You can punch in and punch out, and the program will then echo the current time to a spreadsheet under Productivity.
One can only punch in and out as many times as they would like. The script works with a text based menu as well as with arguments.
The spreadsheet is kept under ~/Productivity under the name work_times.xlsx. If the file or the directory is not present, it will make these files upon running the script, and it will initialise them with a basic header.

The script is limited to only echoing text to the spreadsheet. As a result any changes to the last line of the spreadsheet by the user outside of the script could result in the script crashing.
The user should refrain from doing so, but instead use the remote punch feature.
The spreadsheet can be modified on all other lines except for the last line.
There is a hidden back up spreadsheet created on every new day of punch.
