I came up with a great solution to multiple problems! Well, I think it's great anyway; hopefully you guys will like it as well.

I'm adding a very special item called a "Time Medallion". This medallion will be given to you (with a small chance) by NPCs when you do stuff for them. The item itself will allow you to skip forward to next day. It won't physically change the date, it'll just simulate a day change; everything apart from the date itself will be like it's a new day. However, there's a catch: the more you use it per real day, the more likely it is not to work. For instance, the first time you used it, it'll always work. But the next time, it only has a 7/8 chance to work, then 6/8, 5/8, etc. until they all have a 1/8 chance to work. This chance is reset per real day, so basically you're guaranteed two days of gameplay per real day if you have the medallions. You can risk the chance if you really need to skip more days, but I'd keep it to three or four.

This should hopefully solve some problems like "the beginning is too slow" and "it takes too long to make money" and "there's not enough to do per day". The game will keep track of how many medallions you use though, and I'm not sure yet if it'll affect your gameplay. Maybe I'll just make more weeds grow per day as you accumulate more medallion uses... MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
