Do you ever get overwhelmed with all the production on your farm?

I am probably a noob compared to a let of seasoned stardew players. I have about 150 hours in the game between two saves. I started my second playthrough because every time I logged into my previous save, I'd get overwhelmed by all the different tasks I have accumulated and the same thing is starting to happen on this one. I'm making good progress, I finished the community center for the first time which is cool. I guess my main question is, when you have a ton of different stuff to do on the farm, do you sometimes just ignore it? Like, let the artisan production be on hold for a few days so you can go mining or fishing without worrying about wasting time? Just curious how others play the game :)

I too get overwhelmed or stressed by it, which is a shame really. Hard to ditch that urge for efficiency. It's why I ultimately rarely play very many years on the same farm. At some point it becomes more like a chore.

Perhaps I really want to go fishing or mining or skull cavern diving. But first...

And 5 hours later I'm still running this way and that. Oops, forgot that item fir the fish pond. Or crap, I'm out of coal, or missing seeds for the greenhouse, or need to stash items in chests to free up space for cheese or eggs or something else. Then the travelling cart. Then the island (which I mostly ignore in fairness).

Maybe this is why I've lost some of the motivation to play recently. So yeah, I understand what you mean. Interested to hear what others say too, for how to handle it
