just to keep things simple ,, in this thread ill be referring to my daily tasks as "dailies" so please take note of that if u arent sure what that terminology means !!

so this is a loose list of my dailies...
- check my mail
- search for my fossils and get them assessed
- water/harvest my produce depending on their growth stage
- sell my assessed fossils and any other things i picked up on the way to the store
- check turnip prices (even if i dont have turnips ,, i still like to follow the trends)
- look at what nooks cranny is selling
- talk to sable
- check able sisters for clothing
- get daily nook miles from the nook stop
- deposit bells into abd if i have over 10k (great saving strategy btw ,, highly recommend)
- order the daily kk song from nook shopping and check the daily items
- check the recycle bin
- ask isabelle for the island evaluation (still trying to hit 3 stars)

those are just the things i do when i first log in. from there i talk to villagers ,, pop balloons ,, do my nook miles+ goals ,, check the hhp store ... whatever i feel most like doing. i learned something in my last 2 acnh obsessions -- never put too much into your daily routine otherwise everything will feel like a chore <3

feel free to share yours !! and i'd also be interested in hearing about your bell saving methods if you have one like i do :D
 
1. Gift villagers wrapped presents and hoping to get their Photo
2. Check out Nook's Cranny to see what new items are for sale
3. Check on the Nook Shopping under "Special" if there are any new items.
4. Go to The Roost and have a Coffee from Brewster
5. Go to Harvs island to talk to Katrina about my luck and increase friendship
6. If I got a Fortune from Katrina saying "Belongings will improve" then I head over to Kapp'n Tours to get materials.
7. I go to work at the Resort and buy stuff from Lottie's Office
8. I do a 2 Client Homes and 2 Roommates a Day.
9. I go home and update my dream address and call it a day.
 
I used to have something similar to yours but now I don't really follow a standard routine anymore. I just look at the first 5 nook miles tasks and try to complete it by the end of the day, so that's pretty much my "dailies". It changes everyday so it doesn't feel like a chore to do haha.
 
Check mail.
Use the machine at Residential Services.
Do the Nook Mile+ tasks that get multiples.
Dig up fossils, have them checked, and sold for cash.
Visit a Kapp'n island
Go to HHP to check out the store items.

i completely understand this ^^ doing my dailies on animal crossing was really hard when i was burnt out ,, it felt like i just had to do them ,, which obviously i didnt ,, but it still felt like an obligation. the routine ive currently made i try to stick to as best i can ,, but i dont beat myself up if im not able to complete everything. <3
 
Right now, my daily routine is as follows:
  • Check my mail
  • Dig up the gyroid from the gyroid fragment I buried the previous day, plus any additional gyroids if it snowed the previous day
  • Talk to all my villagers, gift any villagers whose photos I still need
  • Keep checking in on my villagers to try and get my 3 daily villager DIYs
  • Check the Able Sisters for any new clothing
  • Deal with the visiting NPC for that day
  • Go to Harv's Island and get my fortune read by Katrina (and also check what the RV shops have every Monday)
  • Get the bottled DIY from the beach
  • Check the recycling bin
  • Get my daily Nook Miles from the Nook Stop and check for any fencing DIYs I don't have
  • Get my NookLink points
  • Do the group stretching
  • Go to the Roost and order coffee
  • Go to my daily Kapp'n island
  • Bury the gyroid fragment I get from the Kapp'n island
  • Go to the HHP archipelago and get the bottle DIY, vines, glowing moss and chef's DIY
  • Create or cook any new DIYs I receive if possible and fully customize them if needed
It was definitely a fair amount longer when v2.0 and HHP first came out, but I've been slowly working it down.
 
- Check mail
- Talk to villagers (see who's crafting/cooking)
- See which npc's visiting
- Check shops
- Harvey's island (for fortune and customisation mostly)
- Kapp'n island tour

If I have extra time I dig up fossils, shake trees, work on flower hybrids, terraform, give presents etc.
 
- Check mail if there is any
- Walk around beaches to collect shells and find the recipe bottle
- Checks shops
- Locate fossils

It's slow but trying to move flowers to the beach and sale some if need be. As well as just selling stuff so I can save for more storage.

-Run around the island picking up weeds and new flowers that I don't want.
-Talk to villagers, and give the gifts, if needed.

Then if I'm in the mood

check able’s and buy anything that isn’t in my catalog
check nook’s and the morning/afternoon turnip prices (if i have turnips to sell), and buy anything i want/need

check nook shopping and buy anything i’m missing from my catalog
interact with my daily npc if it’s saharah, kicks, redd, k.k. slider or daisy mae
go on my daily mysterious tour and harvest crops/gather materials, find a gyroid fragment, check the beach for giant clams, and pick up the diy bottle i find
bury and water the gyroid fragment when i return to my island

go to harv’s island and have cyrus customize some furniture, and have katrina tell me my luck for the day
 
Well, right now I am working on my New Island that I started for the new year, so my routine is as follows:
-Check Nook Shopping
-See if Tom needs anything
-Check Shops
-Talk and gift Villagers as I see them
-Fish, bug hunt, and get fossils
-Donate to museum
-Do whatever….like decorate or plant flowers
 
1. Check the Shop for new items
2. Dig of Fossils to try and completed the Fossil Museum (for the 3rd time)
3. Get a Coffee from Brewster
4. Go to Harvs island and talk to Katrina about my luck
5. Go to Resort and get the items from Lottie's office and check around for DIY and Cooking Recipe
6. Go to the bed and update the dream address
7. Shut off the game and call it a day.
 
right now it's:

  • check mail
  • look for the DIY-in-a-bottle
  • check the nook shopping special items
  • dig up fossils for assessment and sale
  • dig up unwanted flower growth
  • get a cup at brewster's
  • check nook's cranny & able stock
  • assemble snowman (only one more till i complete the achievement!)
  • check for villager DIYs
... and that's it basically. i finished all my terraforming and landscaping a while ago, and i deliberately hit the natural weed maximum because i use them as decoration. i also don't do enough crafting or cooking to need to gather resources every day. i have the DLC and i definitely want to be checking the poki shop more regularly, but i work full-time in a labor-intensive job and it does feel strange to clock out irl and then tell my funny animal game that i want to "go to work" lol
 
I haven’t been logging in much the past couple months because I’ve been distracted by Pokémon Legends Arceus and The Witcher 3. But when I do get on I usually:

~Check my mail
~Find the DIY recipe on the beach and whatever one one of my villagers is crafting
~Check the Nook order catalog thing to see if there’s anything good for sale
~Check Nook’s Cranny for anything I don’t have
~Go to Harv’s Island to see if Redd has any artwork I need
~Go to Brewsters and enjoy a coffee
~Check Able’s Sisters for clothes/accessories I don’t have

And that’s about it for now, I need to get motivated to get back into HHP. I’ve only designed like 10 houses so far, plus the school and cafe.
 
I'm not playing daily at the moment, but after HHP was released I changed my usual routine anyway! At the moment, my daily tasks are generally:
  • Check the mail
  • Visit Brewster
  • Talk to any villagers that are in the plaza, or that I see while doing my daily tasks (so inevitably a few get missed)
  • Check the board in the plaza if there's a note
  • Visit Nooks
  • Look for a DIY recipe on the beach
  • Visit Wardell at HHP
  • Look for a DIY recipe at HHP 😊🏝️ 🌟
 
My daily routine on Cosa Bella Island:

  • check my mail box to get all my shopping that I order haha
  • go to ables to see the new clothes
  • visit nooks cranny for some shopping
  • pull weeds
  • plant more shrubs
  • plant more flowers
  • water new plants
  • go fishing
  • catch some bugs
  • continue island clean up

I've been playing again since the new update and looking to buy a bunch of new things to redecorate the island with, so it's going well!
 
Mail, Camper if they're in, Redd if he's in, Shops on main island, shops on HHP island, then go work on whatever needs doing for projects.
 
Hmm...let's see....

-Change clothes
-Clean up sticks, weeds, fossils, etc.

-Talk to visitors/NPCs
-Visit the tailor shop and Nook's Cranny
-Get coffee at the Roost
-Plant/dig up gyroids and crops

If I want to, I lead the stretching exercises and/or visit Kapp'n Islands. If I'm doing Happy Home Paradise, the routine is:
-Buy souvenir chocolates
-Check bottle for message
-Visit old clients
-Design house for new client
If I feel like it, I either visit the Cafe, School, Restaurant, Apparel Shop, or Hospital.
