That's natural: while the game definitely has specific goals in mind, it borrows heavily from its Harvest Moon-roots and leaves it up to you to find your own way.

In your case, the good news is that the more you use a tool or weapon, the less energy it takes, so keep swinging and soon enough you'll be able to go all day without tiring (until you upgrade your weapon, anyhow...). You can even do this just before you go to bed: practice by swinging in the air and using up all but your last bit of energy, then go to sleep and have a new energy bar.

As to what to do next, this early in the game your main goal is to meet more people. Keep an eye on your neighbors, and venture a little deeper into Whale Island. Also, keep talking to Mist until the first ground dungeon is opened: explore and beat that to progress a little further in the plot.
