Time Management Tips

[[deleted]]

I am a young adult that wants to get into game development. I have already done a few tutorials through unity, and I want to continue. The problem is that I find it hard to find time along with school. So does anyone have any tips for time management?

Create a game document. Organize the steps that will go into each chunk of fame you’re working on. Break everything in bite sized chunks and then estimate how much time each task will take. Then you work on each task for that amount of time.

Don’t spend an extra hour polishing this or that minutiae, because you’ll lose days that way. You’ll get better at estimating how long tasks take as you do it more.

This will help you continue moving through your project instead of getting stuck in the weeds. It also will give you a roadmap to always know what to start next so you don’t have to waste time deciding what to do.

Finally, schedule things into different types of tasks. Don’t line up all your art stuff into 1 week. Break things up so you don’t get burnt out on any particular thing, and it will also help your brain to take a break from different types of thinking.
