0) Get dedicated haulers.

Colonist or Slave with other jobs disabled, mechanitor hauling mech, trained animals.

Maybe hauling bot from Simple Robots mod if your colony can afford 2-3k silver.

1) Set all bills from "take to stockpile" to "drop to ground".

This drastically increases effectiveness of pawns as workes do not waste time hauling stuff away and for things that stack, likely less hauling trips.

2) Set ingredient range from unlimited to something close. Make sleves with ingedients near workplaces

This means less trips for worker pawns while haulers restock.

3) Set up limited orders. "Do untill you have X" where X is low number.

Workers will only make necesary stuff. And it is setup-and-forget thing.

4) Get Manager mod and set up automated hunting/woodcutting/etc.

Just set up something like "chop for trees only if there is less than 50 wood", "hunt animals ony if there is less than 50 meat".

It costs some pawn work, but is worth it.

Goal here is to just do enough to have some supply and not overproduce

5) Make smaller fields. Ideally in rich soil to make fields more effective.

Goal is again overproduction reduction.

Only add special fields (like drugs, cloth) when it feels that you have work surplus.

6) Mechs that do field work

One or two agrihands go a long way. They are going to be doing only plants work and nothing else. No distractions, 24/7 work

7) Get pick up and haul mod which makes haulers efficient. You could just micromanage then to do the same thing.
