I get stressed out by the fact that missing one seasonal item in the community center means you have to repeat an entire year again just to complete it and move on to new content. I've still never managed to get to any of the content on Ginger Island because of that.
That is fair in the case of fishing, foraging and to a lesser degree farming
If one wants to finish it as soon as possible then there is a pressure to not miss something - a bit of a heresy - but Joja Mart route can ignore that pressure, but it does feel better getting the community center up and running though.
I know the T.V. channel that Pam provides is helpful for fishing and for me I try to set up a schedule where I dedicate a day to get a particular item or to improve a skill to make it easier to get a item I am looking for.
My first two years are usually very busy as my farmer is on a "sigma grindset" and approached as a game getting everything sorted.
I do feel that it plays better when I tried to compromise a bit and try to roleplay like start the day, sort out my fields and animals, have regular meals, visit the town, greet everyone, maybe look at the message board - doing something like fishing, foraging, mining or cave diving for a bit, head to the bar at night for a night cap and then make my way home for the night - especially Friday nights.
I break that habit a bit when it is a really lucky day but I can write that off as a day that my character felt like some "me" time or they are focussed on getting resources for an upgrade to the farm or an item for center
One starts to learn everyone's schedule and you start to feel part of the Valley as familiarity helps build the "community" feel
