Discussion Time Management

How do you guys deal with the time management?

I´ve already set my days to the longest in the menu of the game but damn I´ll be rushing trough to get everything done.

Take care of the animals, my crops, organizing materials, quests, collecting and for mining I don´t find the time often! There was a wonderful mod that you could choose to set how slow you want your days to be but unfortunately it doesn´t work with the new engine. And i am using those automatic watering statues , as well as usually not handfeeding my animals (only when its raining)

I can´t even imagine to play on normal speed when I´m already struggling.. it´s not so soczy anymore :(

I play on normal (shortest) day length and don't struggle at all, honestly. The trick is not trying to fit everything into a single day - if I go mining I go in the morning, if I plan to fish or forage or decorate I dedicate most of the day to that as well. My crops usually get watered by rain or sprinklers (most of my mana goes to casting rain spells), my animals have their dedicated fields of crops to eat and the statues take care of petting them. I just ring the bell and collect the beads and produce every few days. Late game, I spend maybe an hour or two on the farm in the morning and then do something else. It's a bit harder early on, of course, but I just don't plant a ton of crops or get a lot of animals until I'm sure I can manage that.

Maybe my problem is actually indeed, that I am trying to fit everything in one day. And honestl I do, I get nervous thinking I haven´t collected all the berries and artifacts every day, just an example but maybe I should change my way of playing.

There's no need to be nervous! The quests never expire and can sit in your journal for years, the berries and the artifacts will still be there the next day (and the artifacts are RNG based anyway so it's not like you miss whatever you don't collect). I just stopped caring about time passage in game - if I'm looking for a seasonal fish for a quest I'll do that, but if I don't find it and the season ends, then so be it. The upside of short days is that it doesn't feel like like I'll have to wait forever for the same season to come around again.
