What is you daily routine in ACNH?

General
As simple as that, if you do play Animal Crossing New Horizons what do you do every day?
For me it is as follows:
8:00 AM
I go in and explore my island.
If it rained the previous day I dig up all the new excess flowers and trash them.
I water the flowers I am trying to breed into hybrids.
I remove the two weeds that spawn every day.
Talk to as many villagers as I can, give them a gift and look for the DIY being crafted.
I pick up all 15 sticks that spawn every day.
Hit all 6 rocks to get the bells and materials.
I shake all the trees to get the 5 wasps and 2 pieces of furniture.
I dig up the 4 fossils and get them assessed.
I get enough sticks to accumulate 30 sticks and then craft 6 tools, the use 6 iron nuggets to upgrade them so I in turn have made 12 tools.
I use my excess stones, clay or iron nuggets to make 10 pieces of DIY furniture.
I sell all the excess stuff and then shop in all the shops acquiring all the new items, but not stressing each new color.
12:00PM
I go in and catch 25 bugs, and 25 fish.
I also make sure I have done at least 10 Nook Miles+ tasks.
8:00PM
I go in and look around for Wisp.
I do all the random tasks to build up my numbers for the Nook Miles Achievements.
One of the achievements is playing for 300 days, catch 5,000 bugs and fish, craft 3,000 tools and DIY furniture, assess 500 fossils, and complete 3,000 Nook Miles+ tasks. I craft, do or catch a certain number of the things to make sure that I get these achievements before the 300 days passes.
So that's what I do. How about you? What do you do?

FA+

My typical bare-minimum routine includes checking the beach for the message in a bottle, doing my bonus Nook Miles+ tasks, checking in with each of my villagers including home visits to grab a recipe, hitting my six rocks, and digging up the four fossils and getting them appraised.
I sometimes hold off on hitting the rocks in case I get a Nook Miles+ task for it.
Oh, and I also check in on resident services to get daily bonus miles, and also check the special catalogue for if they're selling a K.K. Slider track I need.
If your goal is to craft 3,000 tools, consider skipping the iron nugget. Branches are much more numerous and renewable with some shaking, iron nuggets are limited per day or island trip.
As for the 5,000 bugs and fish, the Bug Off and Fishing Tourneys are good opportunities to make headway on that, given you get extra cash for doing so and tools cannot break during the 3 minute rounds.
During my bug off today, I kept playing past the 300 point requirement and I've made around 400k bells just catching whatever I can with flimsy bug nets.
Oh, also I recently learned that you can apparently get two messages in a bottle on your home island each day.
The second message can spawn 12 hours after discovering the previous, so if you find yours around 8am each day, you should be able to find another when you do your daily Wisp check.
For Wisp, I've also learned that the value cap on his gifts, expensive or new, is apparently a measly 10k bells. So there's a whole ton of stuff he can't gift you unfortunately.
Same for me basically.
If I had a shortage of iron nuggets I would agree, however I have easily more than 240 iron nuggets, so using 6 of the ones I find naturally each day is not a waste.
Indeed, but it's only the first one of each event that will be used for excessive catching since if you get everything from each event the first time, the next event(s) are more for participation to get the achievement.
I have not seen any proof of this when I play. Saturday and Sunday I tend to go in before work, so between 5-6AM. I get the bottle then and no new bottle spawns even at 9PM when I may go in the same day.
Also going in that early exposed me to this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzmWCSPCHFE
It's simple but man it clicks with me~
That's fine, a new item added to the catalog is still nice.
Also because of all the excess fishing I have been doing for the Nook Miles Achievement I noticed I was getting 3 of a lot of fish. So I have decided I may start getting all the fish models as well. I have 6 models, and 45 fish waiting to be turned into models. I missed some from previous months, but if I can keep at it I can get all of them by December. The Char is currently giving me ire. I haven't found ONE.
