Start with overlapping early goals
The first card, first upgrade, first tape, first figurine, first cereal box, and radio action can sit beside ordinary cleanup. Recycling seven bags and drinking 12 cans begin longer cumulative tracks.

Order money and upgrades carefully
The money achievements say “Have,” which points to current balance thresholds. Upgrade purchases spend that same resource. A practical route is to choose saving windows for the four balance milestones, then return to upgrades rather than constantly moving both goals in opposite directions.
Leave open-ended goals to the interface
“All upgrades,” “all garbage,” “full set,” and “all foil cards” do not publish numeric totals in their Steam descriptions. Use the relevant in-game interface and Steam unlock notification instead of a guessed number.
