actually, the screenwriter said (in the commentary for the DVD) the timeline was more like thousands of years. To learn everything that each individual person in the town is doing (remember he knew the boy was going to fall out of three), plus learning piano, plus ice sculpture, plus so many other things would take a lifetime of repeated days.
The whole movie is very kabalistic in principle. Forget about doing the things that make only yourself happy (eating donuts, smoking, tricking women into having sex with you). Do stuff that makes other people happy and in turn, you'll be happy too.
