is it possible to have a date stamp imbeded in a spreadsheet so that progress
on any work can be prompted.
Can the spreadsheet be linked to an electronic calendar so it send you an
auto reminder to open that spreadsheet at a certain date & time.

generally speaking code needs to be open to run.

a file cannot open itself

That said, if you want to put a macro in Personal.XLA that checks the date
and time and then selects files to open that can be accomplished.

This will not run unless Excel is open.

two ways to run this would be the personal.xla Open event to check each time
you launch Excel

or the "ontime" function that will check every ___ min or hours to see if
something needs to be done.
