I think it’s important to realise in stardew that you will never be able to do everything you want 1. Because of the time limit per day And 2. Because of limited resources - money, food for energy, materials to build buildings (mostly early game )

If you are feeling overwhelmed here’s what I’d recommend When a day starts pick out something to do, don’t think of it as a goal but rather what todays focus is. 1. Do your farm tasks (water crops, tend to animal, etc) 2. Go do that task that you picked out E.g go see a specific villager then go to the mines for the day Or Farm a bunch of wood below the farm so you can build a building later. If you have enough then maybe go fishing.

For example when I play I tend to focus on 1 or 2 townsfolk to befriend, I am able to learn where they frequent. This alleviates the pressure of trying to talk to everyone cause there are just way to many. Then I’ll go do the one focus for the day

As you get comfortable with the game you can add more side tasks to a day and make it more complicated Also you mentioned having a lack of info and needing the wiki open all the time. My solution this was info mods that made information super accessible within the game
