Ah, time travelling. I said in a thread I hated it because of the negative effects, but I discovered a way to prevent those effects from happening.
But what are these negative effects?
Villagers will move/like you less.
Weeds will grow.
Flowers will wilt.
Rafflesia.
Turnips spoil
Mailbox gets full.
Disclaimer.
This method will get boring if you use it for ABD interest or far events. It may take an hour if you time travel for that. Also, turnips will spoil no matter what.
The guide.
First of all, set the beautiful town ordinance. Not obrigatory, but saves some precious time.
Second, go to the screen where Isabelle lets you change the time.
Third, skip only one or two days. If you skip too much, you might get the "It has been a while" conversation. As a result, it might lower your villager friendship. Skip two days if you want to go to an event which is close, if you want moving villagers which have their house marked, but not in boxes yet to go out, if you want a KK Slider song early, if you want that villager you don't like to move out, or if you want trees to grow faster. Skip one day if you want to see a funded PWP to finish building, your house expansion done, or if any of the above is one day ahead.
Fourth (and most important) Talk to all of the villagers in you town except the ones you want to ignore. If Timmy and Tommy are selling limited-edition items buy them all. If you didn't follow the first step water all the flowers and pull all weeds. Enter your house, because cockroaches.
Fifth, if you are in your destinated date, do what you wanted to do, and then time travel back the ammount of days you skipped. If you aren't, repeat steps 2 to 4, until you are in your date. Then, do this step. Only alteration is that you must time travel 2 by 2 days and each time you do that repeat step 4.
Sixth, time travel was a success!
P.S: if I used the wrong icon, let me know.
Edit: Forgot to say what to do if you want to time travel back in time, not foward. Basically, just switch all of the parts that I said to skip time to go back in time, and when I say that you go back you go foward.

This is a nice little guide ^^ One other thing I would mention is that if you go back to the present date once you go forward 1-2 days, it counts as 1 day
 
Nice, helpful for people just starting to learn and get the grip of time travelling.

This is right, going back any amount of time counts as just one day and things like house expansions won't be completed.
Helpful guide for beginners, though :)

True. I should've just said it restarts your town. Basically, it just makes it a new day for shopping I guess. New stuff will be in stores, you can get a different emote, villagers can suggest another PWP, but villagers that have plotted won't move in, and your house won't be complete
