This is exactly why I can't play Harvest Moon games anymore, period. Within a couple of hours I identify exactly what the best use of my day is, too, which makes it even worse because it makes almost every day the exact same. I've never lasted more than a year in any HM game, and by the time that year has passed I'm already married and have almost everything possible to its maximum (In FomT with the birthday system you can max out everyone's affection (except for the ones to marry, those take longer and daily work because there's safeguards to prevent this abuse with them) on their birthday rather easily, and you can use this to have a sprite at 10 hearts on the third day of the game, making it even easier). At that point in any HM game, there's little more than daily gift grinding and spending far too long making droves of completely useless money that no longer has any value.
Doesn't matter which game it is anymore, I usually turn it off within 8 days or so.
