TIME:
When it comes to making a game, you should always keep track of time. What do I mean by time you may ask? I mean creating deadlines for certain features, having a release date in mind, creating sprints being the amount of time you'll finish a certain milestone, and so on and so forth. Time is crucial when it comes to making something you want to release to the world. This is why project management or having a project manager is very important. If you manage your time, you'll have a smooth development process... Maybe.
Time is always running. It won't stop for you nor will it for anyone. If you want to get something done, make sure you get that thing done! Thinking about doing things later or avoiding an assignment that may be due next week, will only make your process worse. You'll end up doing millions of assignments that may be due at 11:59PM when it's 10:35PM. Don't do that to yourself, get the thing done and use the time remaining for the fun stuff.
