I believe I’m only missing one fossil so it may be a while before I find it.
- I go shopping at my shops/sell stuff i don't need that's still in my pockets. Also check the hot items.
- I organise my storage a little bit and try to go through it everyday to clear out clutter that I don't need.
- Still searching for like 2 more fossils for Blathers, so I dig them all up.
- Talk to whichever NPC is roaming around, or at the plaza.
- Shake my money trees if I bothered to plant any xD.
- Talk to all my villagers except the ones I'm trying to get rid of. Also check for crafting.
- Search for message bottle on beach plus collect seashells because im crafting a lot of shell furniture atm o.o
- Either water flowers or ask someone to water them for me for higher chance of hybrids.
- Check my mailbox.
- Finally start doing the hard work around the island like terraforming and moving flowers/trees.
I know this is quite a list, but I like to make sure I get as much possible done in a day.

if it's later at night and i have a lot of free time, i'll shake all the trees and visit a random island (i usually make it into a scorpion or atlas moth farming island!)
- first i dig up my daily fossils; i’ve completed my fossil exhibit so everything goes to timmy and tommy now aha. while doing this, i collect all my materials
• i talk to all my villagers and give them gifts, completing any requests if they have any for me
• i shake all my trees
• i talk to whichever npc is visiting

Doing the above can take me 1+ hours
I water when I can (not a fan, I have too many flowers at the moment), shoot balloons down, fish and bug hunt, rearrange/terraform when I have the time which usually means weekends.

Even though my villagers are basically set, and my island is coming along, I still find plenty to do. I'm stuck at 4 stars, so I'm working on getting 5, plus I still need plenty of things to fill out my catalog. With all the variants different items have, that will take quite some time, in and of itself.
Fossils, bell tree + rocks, check for random visitor + bottle, and finally shop/turnip prices if I’ve made it that far. Lately my check-ins are post work (8 am - 11 am) or before work (7 pm - 8 pm).
