The single most important habit in Tomodachi Life is consistency — the systems reward players who learn the core loop before chasing shortcuts, and almost every wall you hit is a sign to practice one mechanic, not to abandon the run.

Priority checklist (do these first):

• Plan layouts for flow, not looks; throughput is king.
• Automate the bottleneck first; it compounds fastest.
• Document your setup; you will forget the why later.
• Keep a cash reserve; downturns punish over-leverage.
• Set goals per session so progress stays visible.

Common beginner mistake: In Tomodachi Life people over-leverage; keep a cash reserve and automate the bottleneck before scaling up.
