🍃 My Animal Crossing: New Horizons Daily Checklist
I’m over 130 hours into my first ever Animal Crossing game, and it’s safe to say I’m a little obsessed. I’ve got a review coming up soon on the blog, but I wanted to share my daily checklist since I’ve found it helpful in making sure I don’t miss out on anything I want to do each day. I typically take care of the essential tasks in the morning while I’m having my coffee, and then check back in at night for turnip prices and recipes. If I have extra time to play that day, I check off some of the optional tasks, terraform or work on my island decor at night so I can try to stargaze!
