How to avoid burnout?

[BeenASon]

You know I really like Stardew Valley but more often than not I try to min max everything and burn myself out by Summer. So I was wondering what I could do to prevent that. Also if anybody else has tips for how to play relatively efficient but relaxed.

check Stardew wiki frequently
i discussed this topic with my friends
in terms of some seasonal ingredients for food or something for community, if you miss something, that will take a long time to get in another year
so it might be better to check on Stardew wiki to avoid missing critical items beforehand

I should check wiki more often it's really useful.

I'm trying to play like this right now.

Forage more, farm more and walk around talking to the villagers a lot and give them gifts! It gets you off the farm and helps you slow down and enjoy the seasons.

If you get too tempted to min/max grow a diversity of crops and don't rely on ancient fruit/starfruit to make huge profits. Enjoy each crop's individuality and preserving it.

Just my take on it, hope you find a way to not burn out by Summer!
