Many agree that all the events leading up to the completion of Season 4's Operation Mongoose takes place in mid-January 2014. Afterwards, the time jump of six weeks of the Camelot quest, I approximated and double-checked that the present-day Storybrooke events of Season 5A take place over a period of 4 days (no longer than a week, which seems very quick!).

"The Dark Swan" to "The Price" = 1 day [Emma even tells Henry that "yesterday" or during the events of "The Dark Swan", everyone failed her except him].

"The Price" to "Siege Perilous" = 1 day (approx.) [in "The Price", Emma wants to remove Excalibur from the stone, and so in "Siege Perilous", she plans to cut through the stone with Happy's axe].

"Siege Perilous" to "The Broken Kingdom" = same day [Emma kidnaps Gold at the end of "Siege Perilous" and keeps him there till "The Broken Kingdom" and it is still daylight, indicating a continuation from the previous episode].

"The Broken Kingdom" to "Dreamcatcher" = same day (approx.) [Emma still has Gold captive and tasks Merida to make him a hero, and it is still daylight, indicating a continuation from the previous episode].

"Dreamcatcher" to "The Bear and the Bow" = 1 day [Regina even mentions that Emma accidentally revealed some information to her "yesterday" or during the events of "Dreamcatcher"].

"The Bear and the Bow", "Nimue" & "Birth" all occur on the same day [1. David, Mary Margaret, Regina, and Belle are all wearing the same clothes throughout the episodes in present-day Storybrooke, however they don't appear in "Nimue". Plus, Emma restores Excalibur probably right after Gold pulls it out of its stone in "Nimue" and later confronts Arthur with the restored blade in "Birth"].

"Birth" to "Broken Heart" = 1 day [the night scene continues after Birth, however the next scenes are focused on the day after and the subsequent night].

"Broken Heart" to "Swan Song" = same day [Hook invites Nimue to Storybrooke and the events of the Dark Ones' siege and Hook's sacrifice in Storybrooke continue over the same night].
