This this this. I started my gamedev journey doing jams, learning A LOT of valuable lessons that have continued to serve me well now that I'm working with much larger teams and timelines.
If you want to start making games, instead of trying to make your magnum opus on your first go, please do some game jams. Ludum Dare. Something short with a fixed time limit and specs you need to follow. Learn about developing under restrictions, how to get creative in them, how to scope smartly.

People think documentation is hard. "Documenting a lot" has legit been career advancing for me
One trick:
If you're writing down an answer to someone in an email or an IM, paste that this into a page
Just do it. Copy-paste. A little cleanup if you're feeling ambitious. Bam, documentation.
