Cool, that sounds fine; I do have both the completionist and FOMO nucleotides in my DNA, but they're both usually pretty recessive so I guess we'll see how that works out.

Commence the wishlisting!

Be careful, if you're real completionist, because some of scout badges are too grindy. However, most of them didnt give you achievements. Its kind a goal inside the game.

It's a delicate balancing act inside my head; sometimes I put my grinding hat on, but if the amount of collectibles is just too high, I can summon my latent superpower of laziness to neutralize. It's always a gamble, living in this brain!

It's a blessing and a curse, trust me.

Playing Cozy Grove only occasionally is fun - you load the game and all of your trees are fruiting, your flowers are in bloom, there are a lot of shells on the beach and you might find completely new shells/bugs/fruit if the season has changed. I've heard that some real world calendar games shame you for not playing often enough, but Cozy Grove doesn't even mention that you were gone. Plus it seems like more of the bears have quests to give you if you take long breaks. If you want to change your hairstyle in a non-permanent manner, I do recommend playing for 2 minutes every Saturday to check Darla's wig selection. Everything else isn't particularly unique to a day of the week (Pandam comes on Wednesdays, but he sells the same type of items as the other sales characters).
There is a different selection of furniture and clothes that you can buy every day, but they do come to the stores again, and the selection is randomly chosen.
Also I feel like the game is more exciting only playing once in a while since the tasks you do can become a bit repetitive (finding hidden objects, harvesting your fruit trees, digging up every hole/chopping down every lettuce bush, etc.)
Like TamanduaGirl mentioned, it might be worth reading the Cozy Grove wiki about the seasonal events to try to attend them if you can.

Awesome, this sounds like exactly the kind of experience I'm looking for. :) I phrased my original post in a specific way because I wanted to tease out a particular kind of answer, but what I kind of expect to happen is that I'll go a week or two playing obsessively every day, probably beyond the "diminishing returns" period when I just want to disconnect my brain and do "grinding tasks", then I'll have a life for a week and not play at all, then poke back in for a couple of days, then get addicted again and go full grind...you get the idea. The ebb and flow of the "weekend warrior completionist" (or, in my case, maybe the "Tuesday/Wednesday evening completionist" heh).
