[General Fantasy RPG] Where do the player characters find time to complete all of the random errands, bounties, and side quests before saving the world?

Most RPGs are presumed to take place over a longer period than you'd think. Like maybe a year or more. Considering that in a lot of these games and stories the characters end up more or less walking across the entire known world it would have to take a while. We just aren't privvy to every little piece of minutiae because, well, that would be boring. Think of all the stuff you get done over the course of a year. Hell, even just a few months. When your full time job is "adventuring" it leaves plenty of time for you to dedicate to side quests as well as whatever big quest you are on.
