There are five major quests you'll want to hit prior to sundown in The Blood of Dawnwalker, laid out on the map below.

Getting herbs from Anca. This is a mandatory one that starts you off after the brutal Force feed choice in The Blood of Dawnwalker, and will include learning Anca's Recipe, as well as sparring with your father afterwards to learn combat mechanics.
Fishing with your siblings. This introduces a key element of the mythology, the Uriashi, who you won't meet until later otherwise.
Chase down Vasil. This is a surprise quest that occurs when a local lout called Vasil hurls an insult at you, at which point you'll have to chase him down. Depending on the choices you make, you'll learn unarmed combat mechanics from this quest.
Help Iorgu find his lost pig. This grants you a small amount of money and meat at the end of the quest you can use later.
Help Gremla find the lost banner. This introduces Focus and investigation mechanics, and for more help, find out how to find the banner in The Blood of Dawnwalker.

All these quests should line you up perfectly with the amount of time needed to fill the day, without starting anything that you don't have time to finish. Keep in mind that you don't necessarily have to do them in the order shown above.

In reality, it doesn't matter too how much how this time as spent, as the tutorial doesn't have a huge amount of lasting impact and even the rewards you get from Gremla and Iorgu aren't particularly significant, but this combination of quests above gives you a solid combination of background lore and tutorials for key mechanics that might otherwise go unexplained.
