Purposefully try to stimulate an experience by trying them all. Repeating one activity non-stop won't bring an experience. Try climbing cliffs, sitting on chairs, examining willows, walking over water, drinking water, lifting objects, placing objects down, walking outside at dawn, walking outside at night, finding a cave, seeing an animal on screen, digging some dirt, crafting something, walking over different terrain types, etc.. There are a lot of events, good luck getting a few!

In other words, you pretty much have to play the game. If you aren't getting any at your current activity, you probably need to change up some and try something different for a while. Obviously, don't farm if you don't have the skill or something like that, though helping the farmers by plowing for them might trigger something. Maybe go on a foraging walk with friends (for safety, of course) if you're stuck in the mine all day.

Several people are reporting getting stuck without experiences, but the same people aren't willing to share what they are or aren't doing. There's a discussion thread with the list of experiences scattered through it. It might give you some ideas: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=41230&hilit=experience%2A
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.

I have nearly 8000 exp at the moment. I'm hermiting, and I'm doing a little bit of everything, including going for long walks for foraging etc. If you are doing lots of different tasks, exp will rack up without much effort. If you're trying to have a specialized character, it's going to get very difficult.

It is a little frustrating if you're focused on one activity for a day since it stops your XP gain, but this is pretty much the answer.

If you have an xp buffer, though, then short breaks to focus on a specific activity won't be an issue.
