Is it possible to complete all social links?

Completing all social links is indeed possible with good time management, but it requires a strict schedule, as you need to increase the social links on certain days and also ensure your parameters are at the right level at the right time. By maximizing at least 3/5 of your social stats, you can max every Confidant on top of finishing other activities like reading, gaming, and fishing with time to spare.
