I think it's worth adding that while some decisions affect the future, you don't miss out on stuff just from not doing things in time. E.g. you forgot to grow pumpkins in the right season so can't get them for the community center, that doesn't matter, it will still be there next year so don't stress.

Your comment is 5 months old, but I just wanna leave a little comment.

I agree on not stressing. Stardew is a cozy game. Some ate food to maximize their days in year 1. But I thought that time isn't a limited resource. Whichever I couldn't do this day due to lack of energy, I could do the next day. So there were days when I had little energy at about 6 pm and I 💤. Idk if it was efficient but I'm :) with my progress. I'm not going for an efficient run.

There are lots of challenges people do because they enjoy it. Things like trying to complete the community centre in year 1, which requires using each day to its fullest. But it's all self imposed.

There are probably only two things that could kind of be considered, which I will try to keep spoilers to a minimum for any readers but it's still a little spoilery. One is what happens at the end of year 2, but if you don't stack up then you can retrigger this on demand. And the other is the randomised quests that come late game with time limits, but this is a short term time limit (do X in X days) and you don't have to do them they are just random challenges.

I'm in year 5. Idk what was in the end of year 2 so I googled. You're talking re >!Grandpa's evaluation!< right? I went to stardewvalleywiki.com. >!I counted how many points I am now. About 11. 1 more and I can have those sweet, sweet daily iridium ores.!<

I haven't completed the community center yet.

Yes that's what I'm talking about. It's automatically triggered at the end of year 2 but you can trigger the assessment at any time after that point at the shrine with a diamond.
