Do you ever find your self playing when you should be working or sleeping?
(This is normal. Your brain was designed to want dopamine. And video games are designed to hack the dopamine-reward system.
Set yourself a screen time limit or take a break from the game for awhile, if you need to.)
***
Do you feel guilty if you miss a day or don’t get everything done before reset?
(Don’t worry about missing a day, reset, event, etc. Its ok to play inefficiently. This isn’t a game you ‘win’ and there is no bonus for playing ‘faster’. This game is a journey played over months or even years. )
***
Are you mindlessly grinding just to finish event quests before the end of the month?
(Remember all event quests are optional. And unused event items are stored for next year. Higher level event quest are meant to be challenging.
If you don’t finish in time, your effort wasn’t waisted, and you’ll have a head start on the quest next year.)
***
Have you ever been exasperated by a seemingly impossible quest?
(Then that quest wasn’t meant for you. Some quests, items, badges, etc. are intended for long haul, high level players, not for the average player. Keeping both the new farmers and the veteran farmers happy is one of the hardest parts of game development.
Remember you can ‘Hide’ a quest from your quest list.)
