I feel like a total idiot admitting this.
I am also freshly disabled, which obviously would affect a person's thought process, so.
Stardew Valley's day structure has literally helped me to accomplish more, with my disability, in my day than I could before I started playing. Note: this is NOT a result of 'getting better' through PT. It is a result of SDV helping me to re-shape my thoughts.
The nature of my problems mean I am physically unable to perform many tasks in a row, and get tired very, very easily. As an example, it took me over a year to be able to stand at the sink for 3 minutes and brush my teeth without having to spend an hour laying down afterwards, from exhaustion.
Basically I one day, on accident, wanting to do laundry had this thought: I should start my MACHINE first. Not, my clothes, or laundry. But machine, like in the game. Soo I did, I ran the laundry (then laid down) and I thought it was like smelting Iridium or something.
