Every morning during my breakfast I launch Pocket Camp to play for a few minutes. Usually I'll do the current event task, complete requests, send Gulliver to islands, check my friendlist to see who needs help with the carry or watering their plants and sometimes I go pick some fruits before closing the game and going back to my things.

I was wondering what were your routine when time is limited but you still want to play the game. Do you *have* to talk to the animals at your campsite ? Fish ? Send Gulliver back to islands ?
Do you have a specific order in which you do it or do you just do as you feel ?
 
Depends on the event. If there’s a garden event, I catch the creatures first, share and replant, then talk to villagers and view my friends’ market boxes to see if anything is worth buying or check if they need their plants watered. Then I go to catch things in all the areas to put them in my market box. If there’s a fishing tourney, then after talking to villagers I go to the location of the tourney and catch things there so that when I finish with the other areas, normal fish have spawned there. If there’s a gyroidite event, I ask for help at Shovelstrike Quarry and go to areas to catch things and collect gyroidites, and by the next time I go on the game, I should be able to enter Shovelstrike Quarry. I also help my friends enter, too. If there’s no event I just only do everything else.
 
Playing Pocket Camp while eating breakfast is something I do too. 🥞 I usually start by checking my friends list and see who needs help. I also give my friends' pictures a reaction because I think it's cute, since you can't communicate with them. 👍 Then I fulfill requests via Pete's delivery service to farm My Nintendo Points and materials. 🤑 I check up on Guilliver's ship, since those take hours to complete and then throughout the day, I'll visit the different locations to stock up on fish and fruit. 🐚 Maybe once a week, I'll spend an hour trying on clothes or furniture I'll never afford, because they cost a billion tickets and rearranging my cabin and campsite. 😁
 
If I'm short on time, I tend to prioritize whatever the current event requires, and fulfill the requests for villagers I like or which are easy to do (i. e., fruit and shells). I've tried to check my campsite each cycle recently, since I need the materials my campers have, so it's currently... empty. Because of loading times and campers hidden by items.
I've made an effort to keep my crafting spots busy, too, if I have the materials, and if I have too much of any I can't use, I send off some of Gulliver's ships.
I request help in the mines as soon as I open the map. I need to get better at doing old Homeroom classes for bells, though.
 
i try to finish up the requests, collect some things if i know i'm low on them (catch bugs and fish, collect fruits and shells), if there's a new fortune cookie then i'll make sure to grab that, i'll check on my market box if anything sells or if my friends has new listings

i always forget about gardening unless it's an event that requires it
 
I would usually check and work on events. I also do camper requests time to time, but I prioritize the villagers I like or if I need to get more friendship points.
 
I try to log in as much as I can depending on the event that’s going on. For some reason, I tire easily with the fishing events the most, & can finish the flower event the best to 100%. I’m trying to be as active as I can be before this version of this game ends in Nov. But I try to fulfill all the villager requests around the map, check the cookies for any bell options, and do the HHA challenges.
 
I generally pop in throughout the day when I have time and think of it. Depending on what’s going on and how much time I have, I’ll do more or less, but definitely try to do event related things first. Then I like to check if anyone needs quarry help or plant watering, or bug sharing if it’s a flower event. There’s also a couple real life friends who I try to give stickers to every day, and share gifts if I have some. Then I’ll also do some villager requests if there’s time, but that’s one I end up skipping if I only have time for the first two. Seeing as I’ve been playing the game since day one, I have more bells and materials than I know what to do with, and I try to send them off with Gulliver as often as I can to avoid getting to the max quantity for materials, but I only send them to the islands for snacks, I have all the clothes you can get from the islands. I often forget about the HHA thing but do that when I remember. I also try to go on right around the new day rollover when it’s a gyroidite event, so I can request quarry help as early as possible. And when I can bother to pay attention to time I try to get on in as many time blocks as I can for fish, but I inevitably end up missing some. I end up not actually talking to the campers at my campsite much anymore, but I’ve been trying to do that more especially for fish and gyroidite events where they can give you things. I frequently forget about the cabin and feel kind of bad for the animals there, even tho I’m really happy with the design I made in there (it’s an ice arena all set up for a show! and sort of also competition but I leave it dark so maybe it’s the gala after a competition lol but it’s complete with a kiss and cry and podium and judges’ stand). I think that’s basically what I tend to do when I log in. I also look for fish/bugs/fruit/shells as I need them, I try to keep most things in quantities between 10 and 15 so I have enough to give out but not too many for my inventory, so if it starts going too low that’s when I try to find things, that way I can usually quickly complete requests
 
I usually just pop in and out throughout the day as time permits :)

The only routine I really have is the first time I hop on each day. First I clear out all the requests, then talk to my camp helper. Next I clear notifications regarding notices and visitors. I then give kudos and receive/give gifts. I check the shop for fortune cookies, talk to my campers, and do the happy home thing. Last, I do the tasks for whatever event is happening and send Gulliver out.

I don't really collect stuff as my helper usually does that for me, but if I have lots of time, I'll go collect fruit/fish/bugs to pass the time.
