Yeah just change the time on your DS by a day or how ever many days/months you need to achieve something. The further ahead you TT the more weeds will grow but it's really not a big deal at all if you're just doing it day by day or even a week. A lot of flowers will grow with the weeds if you TT too far ahead without maintaining the land. Also if you TT back to real time you loose nothing and the next day will be another day. You can TT into the past as well and everything will still be all good even if you travel to dates before you created your town.

I recommend getting your mayor rating to 100 so you can enact the Beautiful Town Ordinance. It'll help with the weeds exponentially if you plan on TTing a lot.

Definitely do the Beautiful Town ordinance, then you can even use TT to your benefit in terms of growing hybrids. Also, as tedious as it is, I recommend only TT one day at a time. It's really easy to lose an important villager or miss a fun event by TTing days at a time. Also, be careful about abusing TT, because your grass can start to deteriorate and more brown patches will turn up (no worries, it will grow back in time). Have fun!
To some extent it depends on what you want to TT for:
Here's a good post explaining what to do if you want to go ahead a month to improve your grass and then go back to current time:

With beautiful ordinance and a 'locked down' villager (as explained in the link) you can move ahead safely in one jump.
I freeze time to play evey ingame day, tho I can't play much in RL.
I use the 3ds clock in settings to change the date & time to a time after I last played, load the game (which takes the time from the 3ds) & play.
I don't go back over a past save, all is as it should be, although I am in the past.
You don't have to be on correct time to obtain DLC, NZone DLC or to sell turnips in another town.
If you are playing other games where the time is important then you might be better to change time with Isabelle at the front screen of the game - this means that the 3ds & the ingame time will be different (& will remain different unless you manually change them to the same time using a 3rd outside clock that has seconds).
I've always changed time on the console- I don't play other games & I find it less confusing this way - but each to their own.
Edit: TT doesn't effect things such as built PWP - they remain.
Be careful TT around time related upgrades - the store & LOL club opening (I've seen no problems reported for the store, but I have for club LOL)
